Sobre este título
Stutley Tillinghast lives a solitary life, ostensibly as the minister of a remote rural parish in Rhode Island. For many decades now, what little human contact he’s allowed himself has been brief, frenzied and bloody, and has always ended in a shallow grave in his cellar. There’s a name for what he is, but he prefers not to use it: it is simple enough that he has his needs, and that when they become unbearable, he fulfils them. In his long and lonely life, he has met only one other like him—the woman he still yearns for, the one who made him what he is.
Then a girl arrives, searching for him. She has his last name, and bears an uncanny resemblance to that woman, awakening memories Tillinghast had long suppressed; the connection he feels for her is immediate and overwhelming. She’s also sick, very sick, with symptoms Tillinghast recognizes all too well...and only he knows how to cure her.
Inspired by the real events of the New England vampire panic of the nineteenth century, TILLINGHAST is a novel to sink your teeth into: at once a gripping, atmospheric horror that turns the classic monster narrative on its head; a literary work of exceptional prose about giving into--or resisting--our impulses; and a remarkably moving father-daughter story that will leave you unexpectedly hopeful—and rooting, despite your every instinct, for the killers.
Resumo da Crítica
“Moody and expertly rendered, Tillinghast is a lyrical and oddly moving nightmare. A vampire (don't say that word) novel like no other. I was enthralled and have become an eager fan of Clare Cavenagh.” —Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts
"Wonderfully mysterious and gorgeously written, Tillinghast offers a boldly original take on what it means to be a monster. While the subject matter is inherently dark, Cavanagh's reflections on connection, love, and found family shine through with an unexpected warmth.” —Monika Kim, Sunday Times Bestselling Author of The Eyes Are the Best Part
"A somber hymn of loneliness, of ancient wounds still tender, raw, and healing, of an insatiable, eternal yearning. Tillinghast is a soft chant in the dark—a tone poem etched in blood, agony, and utter cruelty. Lyrical and devastating, this remarkably heartfelt debut filled me with the same intense emotion I felt when I first watched Park Chan-wook's Thirst or read Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite for the very first time." —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
"Deliciously unsettling. Clare Cavenagh weaves a gothic magic through the pages, evoking Shirley Jackson-esque horror. Tillinghast examines the fine line between what is human and what is not and elicits a dread that leaves you unable to look away. A book that will stay with you long after you’ve finished turning the pages." —Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit
