このコンテンツについて

From the bestselling author of The Double Bind, Skeletons at the Feast, and Secrets of Eden, comes a riveting and dramatic ghost story.

In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.

The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old daughters. Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline pilot, has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain after double engine failure. Unlike the Miracle on the Hudson, however, most of the passengers aboard Flight 1611 die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine – a coincidence not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that basement door. Meanwhile, Emily finds herself wondering about the women in this sparsely populated White Mountain village – self-proclaimed herbalists – and their interest in her fifth-grade daughters. Are the women mad? Or is it her husband, in the wake of the tragedy, whose grip on sanity has become desperately tenuous?

The result is a poignant and powerful ghost story with all the hallmarks readers have come to expect from bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian: a palpable sense of place, an unerring sense of the demons that drive us, and characters we care about deeply.

The difference this time? Some of those characters are dead.

批評家のレビュー

“Echoes of Rosemary’s Baby and The Shining . . . Read if you dare, but keep an extra light on, and make sure your seat is in the full upright and locked position.”USA Today

“Boasts all the trappings of a classic Gothic horror story, reminiscent in places of the spousal secrets in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown, the thrills of Rosemary’s Baby, and the psychological frights of Daphne du Maurier. That thump thump you hear as you read is only your heart leaping from your chest.”The Washington Post

“[Bohjalian] earns a place alongside Stephen King as the master of the Halloween beach book. This ghost story is expertly and, at times, beautifully written, deliciously creepy, and, like a bag of trick-or-treat loot, silently calls out to you when it’s languishing on the night table.”Boston Globe

“A good read for those who like a dash of creepiness.”The New York Times

“Riveting . . . Seamless . . . A hell of a good ghost story.”—Justin Cronin, author of The Passage

“Bohjalian combines modern-day horror with supernatural horror to create a double whammy of otherworldly fear. . . . There’s no guarantee of safe passage in the end.”Miami Herald

“Shades of The Shining make for a haunting tale . . . A modern-day ghost story worth losing sleep over.”Family Circle

“A delicious and haunting tale.”Minneapolis Star Tribune

“This unsettling latest from master storyteller Bohjalian will keep you up at night.”People

“Good ‘n’ spooky.”Good Housekeeping

The Night Strangers has all the hallmarks of a good ghost story, but . . . Bohjalian has put his own twenty-first-century spin on the supernatural genre in his frightening new novel.”—CNN
