Rezension zu „The Guard “
'webs of Pinteresque paranoia ... Effectively horrid' Sunday Telegraph. 'A mix of psychological thriller and SF fable, this strange, wonderfully claustrophobic novel' The Guardian. 'a rich and gripping mix of all the ingredients that make for a truly haunting atmosphere' Writers' Hub. 'Terrin wastes no time sucking the audience into the narrative ... you simply won't want to put the book down until you find out exactly what's going on' Starburst Magazine. 'There's a cold and beautiful precision to Peter Terrin's writing, and a remorselessness and finally terrifying accretion of detail that begins by seeming fussy and ends by being unsettling' SFX. 'The Guard is so good, its world so minutely described and Michel so undeniably compelling that to suggest anything other than to pick this up and read it immediately would be to do it a disservice' SciFi Now. 'a tremendous novel, often horrifically funny and always unsettling' Irish Times. 'This masterly surrealist study of contemporary society, by a Flemish original, is worthy of the great JG Ballard' Irish Times.
