The Haar by David Sodergren | Horror Fiction Review
Another fun read by David Sodergren.
Aww this turned out to be a sweet monster romance with a bunch of gore and features the best salty older woman main character I've read in a good long while.
When a company terrorizes a small town of people into leaving their beloved homes so they can build a disgusting money-making venture on the beautiful land, only one old woman named Muriel who is armed with something that's dragged itself out of the sea, fights back and it's gloriously gruesome.
This was great fun. If you hate corporations that care more about profit than people and the environment, despise Richie Rich entitled men and love a good old fashioned love story this is a book for you.
Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
Publisher Plot Synopsis
“I don’t fear death... but they do.”
Muriel McAuley has lived in the Scottish fishing village of Witchaven all her life. She was born there, and she intends to die there.
But when an overseas property developer threatens to evict the residents from their homes and raze Witchaven to the ground in the name of progress, all seems lost… until the day a mysterious fog bank creeps inland.
The Haar.
To some it brings redemption… to others, it brings only madness and death. What macabre secrets lie within… The Haar.
Romantic and deranged, The Haar is a gore-soaked folk horror fairy tale from David Sodergren, author of The Forgotten Island and Maggie’s Grave.
