When three siblings return to their hometown for their estranged father’s funeral, burying the ghosts of the past proves to be impossible in this chilling story by the author of Mysterious Skin.

Forty years ago, triplets Miriam, Louise, and Edward were swept up in a case of rural mass hysteria. Coerced into fabricating unspeakable lies about their first-grade teacher and her adult son, they were complicit in destroying two lives. Ever since, they have believed they are being followed by a presence still seeking retribution for their childhood sins. Unless their guilty consciences are conjuring as many monsters as their innocent minds once did.

Loam is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting

Terror psicológico curto e efetivo

Esse conto prometia uma história de terror e cumpriu exatamente isso. O autor usou de artifícios muito eficazes, como o ataque de pânico de uma das protagonistas e os flashbacks.

Recomendo pra quem gosta desse gênero, sabe ler em inglês e deseja ler algo curto.
