Book onderhuidse Honestly there are so many different elements contained within this story that are cause to celebrate For me one of the highlights was the different types of relationships explored and the characters were all so well done I did listen to the audiobook and recommend that format as the narration style fit the characters fantastically. EPub onderhuids serie I don t want to say too much about the actual story I think you can tell from my reaction that I really enjoyed it You may be wondering though with all the accolades why I didn t give it a full 5 star rating. Onderhuidse jeuk I guess I would just say that in the second half I did find some of the perspective jumps and overall narrative shifts a little hard to track There were moments I felt I should have been having an a ha revelation and I was having of a head scratching marathon trying to connect the dots. EPub onderhuidse bloedingen I would absolutely read it again though as mentioned above I think I would pick up the second time through and may end up enjoying it even There s definitely a lot of details I would like to revisit knowing what I know now aka having read the end.

Onderhuidse bult in arm Thank you so much to the publisher Tor Nightfire and Macmillan Audio for providing me with copies to read and review I m very excited to see what other people think of this one Dutch Flemish The sea whispers faint It sounds like pages shuffling A seal barks I lick a finger and test the breeze The wind is in the east A moment later it comes mournful and high The stones are singing and I feel it at last that I m home I listen for a time despite my tiredness I think if heartbreak had a sound it would be just like this She can smell him the way wild animals smell prey The visions don t frighten me any I can usually tell what s real and what isn t. EBook onderhuids Don t get comfortable Wilder Harlow has returned to the cottage where he stayed as a teen to write the book he had started over three decades before He is not entirely well We meet him in 1989 via his unpublished memoir which tells of the momentous events of that Summer He was sixteen His parents had just inherited a cottage from the late Uncle Vernon and opt to spend a summer there before deciding whether to sell It is on the Looking Glass Sound of the title near a town Castine in Maine Beset in prep school for his unusual features particularly pale skin and bug eyes Wilder is ready for a novel experience I m looking at myself in the bathroom mirror and thinking about love because I plan on falling in love this Summer I don t know how or with whom Catriona Ward image from Love ReadingThe sound has an unusual um sound The leaves of the sugar maple whisper under it there s a high pitched whine a long shrill note like bad singing it sounds like all the things you re not supposed to believe in mermaids selkies sirens What s that sound It seems like it s coming from inside of me somehow Dad pauses in the act of unlocking the door It s the stones on the beach High tide has eaten away at them making little holes kind of like finger stops on a flute and when the wind is in the east coming over the ocean it whistles through Sure dad but the wind driven whistling is not the only sound that haunts in these parts. Kindle onderhuidse bloedingen It does not take long for Wilder to make two friends Nathaniel is the son of a local fisherman his mother long gone Harper is English her well to do parents summer there Wilder s relationships with these two will define not only this Summer and the one after but the rest of his life Harper is a flaming redhead with issues She has been kicked out of many schools for diverse crimes So of course Wilder is madly in love with her at first sight Nat a golden boy in Wilder s eyes has a way of describing fishing with a harshness that is unsettling The three form their own tribe for a time Pearl is named for her mother s favorite jewel She was only five when mom disappeared They had been staying at a BB in Castine But Pearl s mother is far from forgotten Sometimes her mother talks to Pearl in the night She learns to keep herself awake so she can hear her It always happens the same way Rebecca s coming It starts with the sound of the wind roaring in Pearl s head just like that day on the mountain And then Rebecca s warm hands close over her cold ears The area has a local creep Dagger Man is the name assigned to whoever is responsible for a series of break ins of homes occupied by Summer people He takes photos of kids sleeping Then sends the polaroids to the parents The images include a dagger to the throat Adding to the creepiness there is a history of women going missing here And a legend of a sea goddess luring people to a dark end. Suspense onderhuidse bultjes When Wilder heads off to college soon after he is intent on becoming a writer but while there his closest friend Sky steals his story going on to publish a wildly successful novel using Wilder s work He is never able to get past this thus his final return to the source a lifetime later to have one last go at writing his true version Ward employs some of the usual tricks of creating a discomfiting atmosphere The sounds emanating from the bay are strong among these Even underwater I can still hear the wind singing in the rocks And I hear a voice too calling In describing Harper Wilder notes Her hair is deep almost unnatural red like blood And The wet sand of the bay is slick and grey It s obscene like viscera a surface that shouldn t be uncovered Well ok then Which way to the pool Nat describing how his father kills seals is pretty chilling. Onderhuidse bultjes Ward has had some eerie experiences I suffer from hypnagogic hallucinations They started when I was about 13 taking the form of a hand in the small of my back as I was falling asleep shoving me out of bed really hard I knew there was someone in the room and I knew they didn t mean me well With the information I had at the time pre Google as well there was no other explanation for it was there I think it s probably the deepest chasm I have ever looked into There s nothing comparable to it in the daylight world from the 9 26 22 Guardian interviewwhich find their way into the story. EPub onderhuidse ontsteking So there are two presenting mysteries Dagger Man and the missing women And a bit of magic in the air whether it is a dark siren luring some to a watery grave mysterious noises and notes or teens fooling around with witchy spells Are the kids just being imaginative or is there something truly spectral going on A feeling of powerlessness is core to the horror genre The main characters here share a deep sense of vulnerability This is very much a coming of age novel Adolescence is a prime vulnerable state a transition between childhood and the mystery of adulthood Not knowing who you are Trying on different roles names behaviors hoping for love of whatever sort always susceptible to rejection and or betrayal and or disappointment There is added vulnerability with their families Any teen going through changes would benefit from a solid base of parental constancy Wilder s parents are going through than just a rough patch Nat does not seem particularly close to his only parent Harper refers to a pet dog that protects her from her father There are enough secrets in the world Bad families bad fathers Pearl s mother like Nat s is long gone In addition to whatever else assails them there is self harm. Onderhuids epub file The Dagger Man is wandering about People disappear The bay has disturbing aspects to engage all the senses There are a few stressors as well That certainly sets the stage for an unsettling horror tale That would all be plenty But wait there s Some books have unreliable narrators This one has an unreliable ensemble existing in unreliable worlds Looking Glass Sound is not your usual scare fest The terrors here lie deeper than a slasher villain or a vengeful ghost In addition to the external frights these have to do with existential concerns about identity who what where and when you are Offering the sorts of thoughts that can interfere with a restful night with the legs to disturb your sleep for a long time This would be than enough but wait. Onderhuidse bloedingen bij ouderen This is also a book about writing A pretty common element in many novels it s on steroids in this one cruising along in the meta lane Writers are monsters really We eat everything we see The book is a mirror and I am stepping through the looking glass Writing is power she says Big magic It s a way of keeping someone alive forever I think about our three names us kids as we were Wilder I whisper to myself sometimes Nathaniel Harper We re all named after writers It s too much of a coincidence Harper Wilder Harlow The names chime together The kind of thing that would never happen in real life but it might happen in a book You wanted to live forever Harper says gently You both did you and Wilder That s all writers really want whatever they say. Onderhuidse vetbult She also gets into the morality of story ownership When does your personal tale become a commodity Who has the right to tell your story I cannot say I have ever read a book quite like this one It is not an easy read Despite some surface technique that places it in the gothic horror realm there is a lot going on here You will have to be on top of your reading game to keep track but it will be worth your time and studied attention There should be surgeon general s warning on this book Stick with it and you will get a very satisfying read and endure many nights of unwelcome wondering I wake to the sound of breath No hand caressing me this time Instead I have the sense that I am being pummeled and stretched pulled by firm hands into agonizing geometrical shapes I scream but no voice comes from my throat Instead an infernal scratching horrible like rats claws on stone like bone grinding like the creak of a bough before it breaks Or like a pen scratching on paper.

Onderhuids bindweefsel Looking Glass Sound is Catriona Ward s deeply unsettling literary horror that will lure readers in with its charming coming of age fa ade but leave them entangled in a web of metaphysical dread From the retro cover design to its late 1980s northern Gothic setting Looking Glass Sound is dripping with nostalgia for a simpler time that may never have existed. Onderhuidse ontsteking As the novel opens we read the unpublished memoir of Wilder Harlow a sixteen year old boy whose uncle has died and left his parents a cottage on the Maine coast Wilder soon meets two friends also with author inspired names a handsome boy named Nathaniel and a redheaded British girl Harper The trio form a closeknit bond during their magical summer together and promise to return each year. Suspense onderhuidse bultjes But the rural New England town is also home to a serial killer known as the Dagger Man of Whistler Bay As if that weren t creepy enough the Dagger Man also takes threatening Polaroid photos of children as they sleep Wilder s summer becomes inexorably linked to the story of the Dagger Man as illusory friendships are shattered and his parents troubled marriage hurls toward inevitable divorce. EBook onderhuidse bultjes Wilder is left broken and alone as he begins collegiate life unable to cope with the psychological trauma of his summer at Whistler Bay Enter the overly friendly Sky Montague a Proust obsessed aspiring author who insists on becoming roommates with Wilder But is Sky truly the altruistic friend that he seems or is he just pumping Wilder for information about the Whistler Bay murders A plot involving a serial killer in rural Maine is disturbing but let s be honest standard fare for a Stephen King inspired horror novel However the Dagger Man story is just a fa ade covering the true horrors that await in the second half of Looking Glass Sound. Kindle onderhuidse ontsteking The psychological horror deepens as Catriona Ward weaves layers upon layers of uncertainty to the story The lines between reality and fiction slowly blur as Wilder descends deeper into existential crisis making the reader question everything they believed. EPub onderhuidse ontsteking Much than a standard horror novel Looking Glass Sound is Catriona Ward s ode to the power of the written word The reader becomes entranced by her prose and entangled in her circular narrative of metaphysical horror Put simply Looking Glass Sound is a multilayered masterpiece of speculative fiction and proof that a horror novel can reach the greatest of literary heights Dutch Flemish Maybe it was my mood but I had difficulty following this one and understanding what was going on Ward s writing is like usual solid and captivating I was engaged from the beginning Up until about 50% in I was fully invested and could not stop reading I was listening to the audiobook and the narrator the same as for The Last House on Needless Street is just phenomenal His ability to give each character a unique voice is fantastic The book starts as a memoir written by Wilder about his time as a child vacationing on the Maine coast where he makes friends with two other young teens and some troubling things occur Then the book shifts to Wilder attending college and meeting Sky Then the narrative shifts again and this is where the book lost me The plot is very layered and there are many surprises however I had such a difficult time following what was happening It s possibly a case of wrong book wrong time for me Maybe if I had read it in the middle of winter when I could buckle down and concentrate fully I would have liked it . PDF onderhuidse Don t just take my word for it there are many four and five star ratings for this book If it intrigues you definitely give it a try because I wasn t disappointed with the book just my ability to understand it. Suspense onderhuidse bultjes What s a brain bend you ask It s what Catriona Ward s books do to my head My brain has to work so hard while I read them that when I m finished my mind feels bent. Onderhuidse puist Looking Glass Sound her latest release bent my brain until I thought it would break I won t waste time here rehashing the plot that s what Goodreads is for and the less you know the better But know it s a nesting doll of a novel so multi layered that it s difficult to make sense of the ins and outs of the story Ward plays with time names and even hides secret messages in the pages and your brain cells must be fully charged in order to keep up. Onderhuids bindweefsel And don t do what I did don t get cocky with it I thought I knew exactly what was going on that I had the story straight But then I hit the 75% mark and Ward blew my theory to pieces Before I knew it she had me questioning what was true what was false and how much fiction was inside of her fiction Ha Is your brain bending yet The book is excellent It s her most intricate tightest novel to date I don t even know how she plotted it all out She must ve had a hell of a brain bend afterwards.

Book onderhuidse puist If you re looking for a fourth to round out that group of things with layerslook no further than Catriona Ward s latest a multi faceted intricately plotted and utterly MESMERIZING read It all started with the Dagger Man of Whistler BayWilder is ready to write his final book and revisit the horror he experienced during his youth While visiting a small town in New England one summer he met two companions Harper and Nat and became part of a trio that spent countless hours together Wilder was always a bit afraid of Harper and her experiments with witchcraft but when the three friends discovered a body everything began to change With the identity of the Dagger Man remaining a mystery and residents of the area living in fear Wilder is both fascinated and frightened by the unknown and years later can t seem to let the past goYears later his best friend from college Sky is also enthralled by the spooky history surrounding Whistler Bay and Wilder confides in himperhaps a bit TOO much When Sky takes his friend s tale and makes it his own by publishing Looking Glass Sound a book that becomes a best selling hit Wilder is angry hurt and feels betrayed But the past doesn t seem to quite have let him go yet eitherand when Wilder starts to SEE the ghosts haunting both his waking thoughts and his nightmares it seems as though Whistler Bay isn t quite done with him Can Wilder discover the reason these horrifying visions keep holding him prisoner Or will his next trip down to the depths of that fateful cove be his very last journey If there s one thing I ve come to expect from Catriona Ward it s this expect the unexpected. Onderhuids thriller bark So often writers fall into the same tropes the same literary TRAPS even and it s a rarity to find a voice and a person brave enough to not only think outside the box but to WRITE outside of it Ward has been compared to Stephen King and has received praise from him as well and for good reason her work is dazzling in its literary prowess breathtaking in its descriptive and visceral prose terrifying through its twisted protagonists and plots and baffling in its intricacy. Book onderhuidse puist This is a very confusing book because it s not only a book within a book but a book within a book within a bookand maybe within one book Honestly I don t even know if that covers it all I thinkbut I can t be sure At first when other reviewers warned me of this I breezed through the first 30% 40% or so thinking Hey this isn t so bad and had somehow convinced myself that I was going to keep up from start to finish Well By about halfway through I not only realized that wasn t going to happen but also realized that having to put this one down for weeks at a time while reading other books PROBABLY wasn t the best idea to maintain any sort of continuity. Thriller onderhuidse puist While I virtually guarantee this book is plotted to the letter and error free I question whether I d fully understand it even after a second read Proof positive of this comes from Google if you start typing Looking Glass Sound one of your first search results concludes with ending explained This is both a positive and negative for Ward this is a high level dose of meta fiction with a creepy premise memorable characters and a burgeoning mystery that keeps you hooked till the endBUT if you re not into mental calisthenics of all sortsyou might want to walk on by It s a tangled web Ward weaves full of mystery speculation magic and dizzying horror that will keep your head spinning from beginning to end And much like the Black Widow spider itself once Ward catches you Don t expect her to let you go 4 stars Now available in paperback Dutch Flemish You know you ve read a Catriona Ward book when your first thought upon finishing it is What the hell did I just read This is round three for me with her books after loving The Last House on Needless Street and Sundial which were both mind bending 4 star reads for me Once again Ward puts her superpower for throwing the reader off balance to full effect and that s what I appreciate most about her writing I never know what to expect Wilder Harlow meets friends Nat and Harper one summer as a teenager while vacationing on the Maine coast They bond quickly with Wilder and Nat both enad of Harper and all of them trying to frighten one another with the lore of a local killer named the Dagger Man They promise they ll come back the following summer to Whistler Bay no matter what and they do What they don t anticipate is the dark revelations that will change the future for all of them. Book onderhuids vet That s all I m going to say about the plot With Ward s books it s always best to go in as blind as possible and honestly even if I tried to explain it further I d end up as confused as you That confusion is part of why I love Ward s books so much You really have to pay attention to every detail because things change on a dime continually keeping you so off kilter that you don t know which end is up Ironically that s why I struggled a bit with this book I usually enjoy that psychological fun house aspect of her writing but this got almost too convoluted with a lot of past and present events getting muddled identities changing and book within a book within another book confusion Also since the story started when the MCs were teens the first part read YA to me but even as adults they seemed childish To Ward s credit though this is an ambitious and highly creative plot and once again she blew my mind with that ending As usual her writing is stellar. Onderhuids vet I read along while listening on audio with Christopher Ragland and Katherine Fenton narrating I loved Ragland s narration for The Last House on Needless Street but not as much for this one Harper is a British female but she sounded neither British nor female Wilder often sounded angsty or unhinged and Nat s New England accent felt like a caricature I did enjoy Fenton s narration of a different female character and wondered why they didn t have her voice Harper as well Men voicing women almost always sounds off and vice versa. Kindle onderhuidse ontsteking It wasn t my favorite of hers but I d still highly recommend it to those who love a book within a book story with a twist and enjoy the mental challenge of a complex plot Catriona Ward s unique blend of psychological horror mystical elements and atmospheric writing are an appealing combination 4 for the DRC and 3 for the ALC Thanks to Tor Nightfire Macmillan Audio NetGalley and author Catriona Ward for the DRC and ALC to honestly review It s now available Side note I m WAAAAY behind on commenting rating friends reviews due to a combination of circumstances Please know I haven t forgotten any of you and will do my best to catch up as soon as possible Thank you for your patience Dutch Flemish HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY Writing is power she says Big magic It s a way of keeping someone alive forever Why would someone want to live forever in a book Maybe they don t Maybe the writer keeps them prisoner Catriona Ward has done it again Looking Glass Sound is another 5 star winner I m trying to pick my jaw off the floor and stop my head from spinning This twisty plot is steeped in multi layered metafiction constantly challenging readers to question the truth What starts out as a rather simple narrative morphs into something completely different Want to know what that is Ya me too Ward is a brilliant writer with unique ideas that force readers to use their brains in ways that even they don t understand. Onderhuids bindweefsel I m absolutely gobsmacked from this book It definitely begs for a second reading in order to fully absorb all of the subtle clues and details I will not rehash the plot as it is too complex to summarize Trust me Here are some of the themes explored in case any are triggers for you Identity gender roles alcoholism pedophilia homosexuality suicide witchcraft and ghosts. PDF onderhuidse ontsteking I cannot wait to read from Catriona Ward Each book she writes raises the bar even higher and I will be first in line for the ride 5 5 starsExpected publication date 8 8 23Thank you to NetGalley and Tor publishing for the ARC of Looking Glass Sound in exchange for an honest review Dutch Flemish LOOKING GLASS SOUND by Catriona WardOther Books I Enjoyed by This Author LITTLE EVE THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STAffiliate Link Date August 8th 2023 The same day as my book General Genre Horror Thriller Psychological SuspenseSub Genre Themes Coming of age friendships coastal small towns serial killers college life witchcraft reads like a thriller human monsters mind benderWriting Style intricately plotted character driven skilled command of language mood settingWhat You Need to Know I think it s best not to know too much going into this book You can read my review I always keep it very light on specific plot details and preserve reading discoveries at all costs but be very very careful reading other responses reviews on Goodreads or other reviewing platforms Holy hell people give so much away The review in GRIMDARK MAGAZINE is extremely revealing The review at MEDIUM is even worse The less you know the better this book will be for you I don t even remember reading the synopsis to be honest I read it just now to be mindful of what details are freely given Friendship and betrayal Dark obsessions Terrible secrets That s all you need to know Oh and also this Don t give up Things will start to unravel and your brain will resist you ll be like Wait what the fuck I thought it was this way or that way or whatever Just keep going You will be rewarded Trust me My Reading Experience This book is like an A24 movie in the best possible way A quiet puzzle like horror thriller that creeps into your bones and unsettles you to the core My experience was extremely cinematic As I type this I can see images floating around in my mind of various scenes I feel the mood that surrounded me and the overall tone of the work as a whole Much like Little Eve Ward expertly employs a distinct storytelling voice that wraps the readers up in a strong character driven narrative in order to painstakingly craft a path through a winding twisting storyline EXACTLY how it is intended to be experienced. Onderhuidse bult in arm I hope I explained that accurately In other words this story is very clever and Ward is able to manipulate her audience emotionally almost scientifically mindful of how our brain chemistry works and works those things against the reader in order to reveal things precisely landing every single punch. Book onderhuids serie I had actors picked out for the three main characters and even a few for some of the supporting roles They just appeared in my mind based on their personality traits and physical features as they developed This is for sure a coming of age novel the characters start as young adults and by the end are much older The story really unfolds in distinct acts Childhood Adolescence College life and Adulthood The three main characters are bound together by an evolving mystery And that s all I will say about that. Onderhuidse puist Final Recommendation I m recommending this for readers that enjoy going on a journey A multi layered storytelling experience with characters you can invest in Original unexpected and reads like a dark thriller but leans into some horror vibes too This isn t a thriller with thin easy to digest plotting It s complicated It has probably ruined me for all thrillers to come because I dove into a popular new thriller right after finishing LOOKING GLASS SOUND and was immediately put off So that s my big blurb takeaway Catriona Ward has just leveled up to Gillian Flynn status for me There I said it: Onderhuidse puist I knew it was set in Maine my home state and involved a writer but that was about it I recommend you go into it not knowing much than that. Onderhuids vet The second summer in Castine there is an accident in a secret cave involving Wilder Nat and Harper It leads to a very dark traumatic discovery upending their worlds. Onderhuids thriller bark I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book all opinions are my own Dutch Flemish I m coining a new term brain bend: Onderhuidse bloedingen The mental effort of it is exhausting But the payoff is so good, EPub onderhuidse And in the case of Looking Glass Soundit is HEAVY on that fourth quality: Suspense onderhuidse bultjes Comps Gillian Flynn Thrillers Which is the gold standard so Dutch Flemish.
