![]() ![]() It's really scary, and literary to boot, going way down deep, and way up high. Remember that famous scene in the movie, 'Wait Until Dark?' Remember that feeling while reading 'The Tell-Tale Heart?' Remember the evil character in the movie, 'No Country For Old Men?' Remember the most terrifying nightmare you've ever had? OK, so now: Here's your book, Girl in the Walls, by Adam Gnuse. A riveting, astonishing, and flat-out gorgeous debut., Ever been deep underwater, holding your breath, wondering if you will make it to the surface? OK. Then read it a second time, slowly, to savor language that drips and swells with the terrifying beauty of a Gulf Coast hurricane. Once you start reading Girl in the Walls, you won't want to do anything else. A uniquely gothic tale about grief, belonging and hiding in plain sight., Clear your calendar. I found myself holding my breath and never wanting to leave, despite the darkness. Gnuse's debut is bold and compelling, subtle and sublime, with writing so good that you're torn between racing ahead and lingering. ![]()
