Résumé

Touched Résumé

Touched Joanna Briscoe

A chilling, deeply creepy Hammer novella by Joanna Briscoe, author of the acclaimed, bestselling novel, Sleep With Me.

Rowena Crale and her family have moved from London.

They now live in a small English village in a cottage which seems to be resisting all attempts at renovation.

Walls ooze damp, stains come through layers of wallpaper, celings sag.

And strange noises - voices - emanate from empty rooms.

As Rowena struggles with the upheaval of builders while trying to be a dutiful wife and a good mother to her young children, her life starts to disintegrate.

And then, one by one, her daughters go missing ...

Touched Avis

I read it with great delight. A delicious page-turning treat. * Barbara Trapido *
Totally wonderful. Touched makes me mindful of Dylan Thomas, it's so poetic and haunting; Joanna Briscoe is a truly lovely writer * Penny Vincenzi *
a ghost story interwoven with crime, love and horror. It works on every level....Touched is a finely balanced creation, reminiscent of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Briscoe's prose is sensuous, poetic, light. The rhythm is delicately controlled. A strange, fascinating tale. * Financial Times *
Touched is a gripping novella, a waking nightmare in the home counties that is both erotic and claustrophobic. There's a woozy atmosphere of menace, a satirical stab at Britain's post-war commuter-belt aspirations, and an elegant, postmodern, cine-literate twist...Touched has something of The Turn of the Screw, certainly, but with it, the brasher influence of Ira Levin, or Anthony Shaffer, screenwriter of The Wicker Man. ...This is a haunting and disquieting parable * Guardian *
that sense of suffocation and slowly creeping madness is something that Touched - the latest novella from the Hammer horror imprint - expertly mines * Daily Mail *
An old fashioned, scary horror story * Sunday Mirror *
Haunting novella from Joanna Briscoe...a disorientating ride * Grazia *
