Présentation de l'éditeur :
The eerie, suspenseful debut novel — hailed as “an amazing piece of fiction” by Stephen King — that is taking the world by storm. When the remains of a young child are discovered during a winter storm on a stretch of the bleak Lancashire coastline known as the Loney, a man named Smith is forced to confront the terrifying and mysterious events that occurred forty years earlier when he visited the place as a boy. At that time, his devoutly Catholic mother was determined to find healing for Hanny, his disabled older brother. And so the family, along with members of their parish, embarked on an Easter pilgrimage to an ancient shrine.     But not all of the locals were pleased to see visitors in the area. And when the two brothers found their lives entangling with a glamorous couple staying at a nearby house, they became involved in more troubling rites. Smith feels he is the only one to know the truth, and he must bear the burden of his knowledge, no matter what the cost. Proclaimed a “modern classic” by the Sunday Telegraph (UK), The Loney marks the arrival of an important new voice in fiction.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Cuando los restos de un niño son descubiertos durante una tormenta invernal en un tramo de la sombría costa de Lancashire conocido como el Loney, Smith se ve obligado a afrontar los terribles y misteriosos sucesos acaecidos cuarenta años atrás, cuando visitó el lugar siendo un chiquillo. Su devota madre, católica exacerbada, resolvió encontrar una curación para la discapacidad de Hanny, su hermano mayor. Así, la familia —junto con los miembros de su parroquia— peregrina hasta un antiguo santuario. Pero no todos los lugareños se mostrarán felices de recibir a los nuevos visitantes. Cuando ambos hermanos traben contacto con una inquietante pareja que vive en una casa cercana, se verán involucrados en una sucesión de perturbadores ritos. Smith siente que es el único que conoce la verdad, y que debe llevar sobre sus espaldas ese peso, no importa cuál sea el precio. Proclamada un «clásico moderno», traducida a infinidad de lenguas y alabada por autores como Stephen King o Paula Hawkins, The Loney refrenda la aparición de una fresca y relevante voz en la ficción contemporánea. Una lectura inolvidable.

Description du livre North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2014. First edition, Hardcover, SIGNED, Limited, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 278 pp. This edition limited to 300 signed copies. "The Loney is a superb new slow-burn British horror novel in the tradition of The Wicker Man. Exploring issues of faith and the survival of older beliefs, Andrew Michael Hurley's beautifully atmospheric and moving novel has at its heart the relationship between two London Catholic boys, Smith and his mute, mentally disabled brother Hanny. The discovery of the remains of a young child during winter storms along the bleak Lancashire coastline leads Smith back to the Saint Jude's Church Easter pilgrimage to The Loney in 1976. Not all of the locals are pleased to see the Catholic party in the area, and some puzzling events occur. Smith and Hanny, the youngest members of the party, become involved with a glamorous couple staying at a nearby house with their young charge, the heavily pregnant Else. Prayers are said for Hanny at the local shrine, but he also inadvertently becomes involved in more troubling rites. Secrets are kept, and disclosed. After the pilgrimage, a miracle-of one kind or another-occurs. Smith feels he is the only one to know the truth, and he must bear the burden of his knowledge, no matter what the cost." First edition, Hardcover, SIGNED, Limited, Fine in Fine dust jacket, N° de réf. du vendeur 54372
