À propos de ce contenu audio

Cult horror director Stanislas Cordova hasn't been seen in public since 1971. When his daughter Ashley is found dead in a believed suicide, journalist Scott McGrath is not convinced. For McGrath, another death connected to the legendary director seems more than a coincidence. Driven by revenge, curiosity and a need for the truth, he finds himself pulled into a hypnotic, disorientating world which begins to threaten his grip on reality.

Great audiobook : well written story, nicely narrated. Nice discovery, found searching Alan Wake like settings. Don't miss additional interactive content on the author's website.

Over all characters are caricatural, there really isn't a moment where the purpose for such a long intricate book comes to light. the only thing that makes sense is that the story in itself is built as a movie so that's interesting. but otherwise it's an investigation amongst others, and nothing is really convincing. Millenium comes to mind just to condemn this piece thoroughly. From the main character who is on the downfall but who somehow can throw thousands of dollars away to make people talk, to the younger characters who just lack with consistency...the elusive Ashley is pictured as too good to be true. and the film maker is just boring. there's nothing truly human or truly moving except perhaps the depictions of children. these are authentic, i did actually like them all. the rest is very artificial. Nora is perhaps a bit better than the rest but so unlikely, so faraway from a Donna Tart character for instance, to whom she'd be some kind of genetically manipulated cousin. Dark magic could have been fun but it was just quite useless. The lack of humor in such a context was deeply felt. I went through the whole thing for the sake of distraction and couldn't focus on the end which was predictable in essence if not in detail. the mystery from the beginning never felt so important to me as a reader, that i wanted for it absolutely to be solved. There is a very clever plot twist nearing the end. It does help the whole a little but it comes so late. it could absolutely have come as a starter and be elaborated and that would have been the book, with half as many pages. A lot of bustle for quite no result to the reader, a lot of "and when i saw what was inside i couldn't believe my eyes" at the end of chapters, just to find out at the next chapter that it was all nothing really. A lot of careful writing technique which really isn't so much the point with good writing. was it entirely bad? well it was distracting to some degree. Some books can't be read through, that one deserves it because the story is unusual in it's inspiration and the focus on movie techniques and inspiration was interesting. And the children. But you got to like people following leads endlessly to no avail. the reading was okay the male reader trying for women voices did what he could with what voice he has, a voice better suited to rough guys perhaps, but he didn't caricature ladies too much. I appreciated.

plot twists and cliffhangers for what good?
