Sobre este áudio
One of the finest and best-selling horror novels of the 1970s returns at last to chill a new generation of listeners
In the isolated farming community of Harlowe, New Hampshire, where life has changed little over the past several decades, John Moore and his wife Mim work the land that has been in his family for generations. But from the moment the charismatic Perly Dinsmore arrives in town and starts soliciting donations for his auctions, things begin slowly and insidiously to change in Harlowe. As the auctioneer carries out his terrible, inscrutable plan, the Moores and their neighbors will find themselves gradually but inexorably stripped of their freedom, their possessions, and perhaps even their lives ...
A chilling masterpiece of terror whose sense of creeping menace and dread increases word by word, Joan Samson's The Auctioneer (1975) is a rediscovered classic of 20th-century fiction. With echoes of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and Stephen King's Needful Things, Samson's novel returns to print at last in this long-awaited new edition.

"Buy this book ... there is no way to stop reading it, once you've started!" - Baltimore Sun
"A well-made piece of dynamite ... For all their talk, the author seems to be saying, men will permit their souls to be carried away bit by bit and auctioned off to the highest bidder. Samson has written a suspenseful, engrossing novel with the most gripping and violent ending we've encountered for some time." - Newsday
"A frightening novel . . . a powerful book from a powerful writer." - The Grand Rapids Press
