The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Thryft

Childhood innocence clashes with eldritch terrors.

Description

A special Christmas edition of the Sunday Times bestseller. WINNER OF THE
SPECSAVERS NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2013 BOOK OF THE YEAR Dive into a magical
novel of memory and the adventure of childhood, from one of the brightest,
most brilliant writers of our generation. It began for our narrator forty
years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in
it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from
beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator
has just to stay alive. There is primal horror here, and menace unleashed -
within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His
only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest
of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the
Big Bang. THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern
fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate
as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.
