The Waking sets horror in school Posted October 29 2009
If The Grudge captured you, then Thomas Randall's The Waking: Dreams of the Dead will also fascinate. It may not be as terrifying as The Grudge, but the novel's Japanese-folk-tale-meets-horror may have readers questioning the power of their dreams. After her mother's death, American student Kara Foster goes to Japan with her dad, who has a teaching job at a boarding school in Miyazu City. After meeting Sakura, the rebellious, chain smoker, and her friend/roommate Miho, Kara begins to feel accepted. But Sakura has a problem: her sister Akane was murdered on the school grounds and no one knows who did it. Students who knew Akane start having strange nightmares and then end up dead. Soon Kara is having nightmares, too. So much for typical high school problems. —Natalia Sieukaran, Pompano Beach High |
