In this creepy novel by Albert Sanchez Piñol, a young man trying to escape his past goes to an island in the Antarctic to take weather measurements. The man he's supposed to replace is missing - the only person present is the lighthouse keeper, Gruner. Strange gets stranger in this horror novel that leaves the reader wondering who the monsters really are.
The story is much more similar to H.P. Lovecraft than Stephen King, but if King's explicitness bothers you, this is not the book for you. If not, this is a disturbingly weird read that will be worth your time. If you've mostly read American horror novels, this will be a special treat for you. :)
Recommended for H.P. Lovecraft fans especially, but other horror readers too. Other readers might not enjoy it as much.
