In the spirit of Halloween, we gathered up a few books that are psychologically eerie in the way some horror movies just aren't. 万圣节即将到来之际，为了渲染节日氛围，我们精选了几本适合此时赏读的恐怖小说，这些小说不同于某些恐怖电影，都以心理上的恐怖感取胜。 1.The Witches of Worm by Zilpha Keatley Snyder 《虫巫》作者：Zilpha Keatley Snyder Jessica buys a runt of a kitten -- a tiny creature that her neighbor helps her nurse to health. Adorable, right? NO. WRONG. There is nothing adorable about this story. Jessica names the kitten Worm, which is already a horrible sign. Then, timed perfectly with her acquisition of said kitten, Jessica begins committing increasingly violent acts against her family. 杰西卡买了一只小猫崽——她的邻居也来帮助她饲养这只小东西。听起来很萌萌哒，不是吗——然并卵！这个故事一点也不萌萌哒。杰西卡为小猫取名为“虫子”，这本身就是一个恐怖的征兆了。接着，恰在她将这只小猫带回家之后，杰西卡开始对家人施暴，而且暴力倾向越来越严重…… 2.Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes 《半身怪兽》作者：Lauren Beukes A detective stumbles upon a super-unsettling scene -- a victim's body seems to have been fused together with animal parts, making him part human, part woodland creature. The detective's daughter is busy chatting with the suspected killer online. The book is set in Detroit, and the characters, like the city, bravely try to hold themselves together in the face of danger. |
