À propos de cet audio

Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Blair Witch Project in this very grown-up tale of a camping trip gone horribly awry.

Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive. The Laws of the Skies tells the harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness and accidents, and of a murderous child.

Part fairy tale, part horror film, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed party, murderers and murdered alike.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The Law of the Skies is not an easy book to digest, and I’m sure it won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but I found it exhilarating to read a novel that’s this unflinching, this nihilistic, and also this deeply profound.” (Locus Magazine)

“That is what Courtois aims to do - shock and destabilize - and that is what he does in this slim novel about a children’s camping trip gone horribly wrong.” (New York Times, Summer Reads)

“Unflinching in its savagery, the nightmarish poetry of this modern Lord of the Flies is undeniable.” (Publishers Weekly)

Oh my. Just finished.

This really earned its place on a most disturbing books top 10 without working that hard.

Fast, terrifying, messed up and exactly what I was hoping for

Not for the faint of heart

It gets so violent and horrific so fast. Listen with caution if you're easily disturbed

Easily the most scarring thing I have ever listened to. if you happen to stumble across this, think twice before listening.

Everyone was saying how disturbing this was, and to the average reader I suppose it is. However, if you've read something like The Troop, this is nothing. This story was thankfully short, but pointless.

The narration here is also bizarre. There is no break in between scenes as if one scene to the next is a run-on sentence rather than separate paragraphs. It was hard to listen to but I somehow managed to finish it.

Skip this and please listen to something better. This will only waste your time.

A letdown.
