Riassunto

The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when 14-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of what at first seems to be acute schizophrenia, a condition which only gets worse, leading them to believe it's actually demonic possession, as they become the center of a reality TV show. 75,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I’m pretty hard to scare.” (Stephen King)

“Paul Tremblay’s terrific A Head Full of Ghosts generates a haze of an altogether more serious kind: the pleasurable fog of calculated, perfectly balanced ambiguity.” (New York Times Book Review)

“...progressively gripping and suspenseful ― (Tremblay’s) ultimate, bloodcurdling revelation is as sickeningly satisfying as it is masterful.” (NPR Books)

“Tremblay expertly ratchets up the suspense until the tension is almost at its breaking point.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“[B]rilliantly creepy.” (Library Journal)

“The novel is stylishly written and well-conceived.” (Booklist)

“Gripping and truly scary, this book feels of the moment in a way few thrillers do.” (B&N Reads)

“[A] scary story, indeed.” (BookPage)

“A mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed, raising disturbing questions about memory and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil.” (Buzzfeed)

“[A] creepy, interesting read, great for horror fans.” (SFRevu)
