"Come for the mounting horror and scares, but stay for a devastating examination of the nature of family secrets." - New York Times book review
1959年的一天,一整个村庄的人口全体消失——留下来的只有一具女尸体以及一间教室里的一名新生儿。没有人知道他們消失到哪里去,至今也没有人敢踏入村庄。直到现在。
纪录片导演Alice Lindstedt从小就对这村庄的案件具有深度的好奇,几乎到着迷的程度。她祖母的全家人都是在这里消失,而她一直在好奇那具尸体以及那名婴儿到底是谁。她聚集了她的一些纪录片摄影朋友一起前往小村庄住几天,拍一部关于这里的故事的片,说不定能找到什么线索。但是,没有人能想象他們这一去是无法回。
在他們抵达不久之后,神秘的事件开始发生。器材被毁灭,人开始失踪。他們开始怀疑、害怕、失去理智,而Alice唯一可确认的是他們不是单独在村庄里。
这本书充满了惊悚以及刺激,让你必需从头读到尾才能满意!
