Beskrivelse af Crushing Snails
Winnie Campbell is sixteen and a burgeoning serial killer. Her father blames her for her mother's death, dotes on her little sister, and executes increasingly cruel punishments meant to humiliate Winnie. As the punishments morph into torture, she begins fantasizing about regaining some semblance of power, eventually working through her rage by killing small animals.
When her violent games escalate and she accidentally kills an infant while babysitting, Winnie gets a taste of a power she doesn't want to let go of. Her obsession with killing grows, and so does her fascination for Leigh, a girl that reminds her of her younger self.
Winnie wants to kill. She wants to die. She wants to be someone other than herself. And killing Leigh, a symbolic suicide, could be the key to her metamorphosis.
"A shocking and utterly harrowing examination of the creation of a murderer. Although Crushing Snails excels in many areas, this novel is perhaps most skillful at effectively illustrating the very human compulsion for violence and depravity. Murray's excellent novel showcases the very human possibility of carnage-the horrifying prospect of brutality-when curiosity is sated and when we finally surrender to our most feral desires."-Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
"Masterfully executed and chilling to the core, Crushing Snails is a terrifying look into the darkest depths of the human mind and the ways in which monsters are formed. With the intensity level set to high, Murray draws you into complicity as you witness one girl's spiral into obsession and depravity, culminating in a horrifying conclusion you'll never forget."-Kelsea Yu, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of Bound Feet
"A nightmare of power and control, or perhaps even something more wayward. Crushing Snails is provocative and demanding, spiraling and unapologetic. Emma Murray is an exciting emerging voice in horror challenging what is normal and what is safe."-Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Crime Scene
"Sick, twisted, and compulsively readable-Emma E. Murray's Crushing Snails is a coming-of-age story that goes to dark and darker places, leaving me constantly hanging between two modes of thought: one-more-chapter and holy-fucking-shit." -Carson Winter, author of The Psychographist
