Stag Hunt Zusammenfassung

Stag Hunt Anthony Mcgowan

The smiling one; the one who hurt; the shy one; the one who cried; the one who kissed.

That is how he remembers the gang of boys who tormented him when he was a child. Now twenty years have passed and it is time to make them pay.

But into the finely wrought net stumbles one man who had nothing to do with the nastiness in that minor public school. Matthew Moriarty carries demons of his own, but when Dominic Chance invites him along to a stag weekend in a remote country house, lost on a fold of the country beyond the reach of mobile telephones, he could never imagine the horror that awaits. Or the beauty.

Stag Hunt tells the story of ghosts, of demons, of revenge, of desire; and finally of the possibility of redemption through love.

Stag Hunt Bewertungen

'McGowan s debut packs a vicious punch, turning his characters inside out en route to a finely crafted finale.' - Good Book Guide on Stag Hunt

'A cleverly constructed tingler that will make readers want to keep the light on when they go to bed.' Scotsman

'McGowan's book is simultaneously original and traditional, with stylistic borrowings from writers as diverse as Simon Raven and Martin Amis, and enough energy and enthusiasm to keep a busy, often quite nasty plot on the boil. Once you've stepped on board you're there till the end of the ride.' - Literary Review

'Articulate on the friction of class, the bonds of friendship and the power of hatred. The suspense is tantalising and the situation marries the gothic quality of a haunted house story with revenge tragedy and the peculiar ambience of British boarding-schooled males at play. An accomplished and thoughtful debut.' - Manchester Evening News
