What Remains of Her - A Novel

Eric Rickstad

Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Girls comes this chilling, harrowing thriller set in rural Vermont about a recluse who believes the young girl he's found in the woods is the reincarnation of his missing daughter, returned to help him solve her and his wife's disappearance. 
I won’t say a word. Cross my heart and hope to die… 
Jonah Baum, a professor of poetry at a local college in Vermont, sees his ordinary life come tumbling down when his wife and young daughter vanish from their home. No evidence of a kidnapping. No sign of murder. No proof that Rebecca didn’t simply abandon her marriage. Just Sally’s crude and chilling drawings, Jonah’s little lies, and the sheriff’s nagging fears that nothing is what it seems. 
For Sally’s best friend, Lucinda, it’s something else. She trusts in Sally not to just disappear, not after they’ve shared so many secrets—especially about the woods and what they saw there. But she’ll never tell. No one would believe her anyway. 
As the search for Rebecca and Sally intensifies, and as suspicion falls on Jonah, the disappearances become more relentlessly haunting than anyone can imagine. Because what’s seen in the light of day is not nearly as terrifying as what remains hidden in the dark…

The House on the Borderland

William Hope Hodgson

William Hope Hodgson was an English author born in 1877 in Essex, England. He was a prolific writer in the early 20th century and is best known for his works in the horror and science fiction genres. One of his most famous works is the novel "The House on the Borderland," which was first published in 1908.

"The House on the Borderland," tells the story of an unnamed protagonist who discovers a manuscript written by a previous occupant of a remote and decaying house on the edge of a vast and mysterious abyss. The manuscript details the strange and terrifying experiences of the previous occupant, who is drawn into a world of cosmic horror and ancient evil.
The novel is a haunting and unsettling work, filled with vivid and surreal imagery. Hodgson was a master of atmosphere, and he creates a sense of creeping dread that lingers long after the last page has been turned. The house itself is a character in its own right, with its twisting corridors and strange, shifting dimensions.

But "The House on the Borderland" is more than just a simple horror story. It is also a meditation on the nature of time, space, and consciousness. The protagonist grapples with questions of identity and existence as he confronts the horrors of the abyss, and the novel ends on a note of cosmic uncertainty that is both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Hodgson's influence on horror and science fiction cannot be overstated. His works have been cited as major influences by writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, and his contributions to the genre have been recognized by the Bram Stoker Awards and the World Fantasy Awards.

"The House on the Borderland" remains a classic work of horror and science fiction, and a testament to William Hope Hodgson's skill as a writer.

Inhibition

J. Acosta

Akin to being a DARKER version of The Princess Bride and The King in Yellow. 
Reading this book is like going into a trippy play where animals talk and there are bizarre characters. It is a mind-bending read with interesting characters and a story plot. Believe it or not, it does have a lesson to the story, we all wear masks to hide our true selves. 
Talented storyteller: he paints entire scenes with plenty of details. His characters are gorgeously written, making the novel very easy to read at lightning speed. As you can see this book is highly reflective of the thoughts we share in our heads once in a while. The story is mysterious and poetic at the same time, giving a resemblance to Hamlet.
