Publisher's Summary:
A New Millennium. On 31 December 1999, Australian advertising creative Guy Russell arrives in New York along with his fragile wife and their young son. A painful tragedy has led them to swap Melbourne for Manhattan, and seek a fresh start.
A New Beginning. With a new job secured at a thriving midtown agency, and temporary residence obtained in the Upper West Side's Olcott Hotel - a building with a morbid history of its own - Guy feels that now is the time to lay his troubles to rest.
A New Nightmare. Yet something won't let him. And as a sinister force from Guy's past begins to scratch its way back into his present, the behaviour of his son, Callum, also starts to become increasingly disturbing and chilling. As Guy begins to believe that Callum is being possessed by this dark force, others fear he is gradually dispossessing himself of his own sanity. And as Guy grapples with whether the evil tormenting him is in his surroundings, his son, or his own mind, he pushes himself ever closer to the edge.
Critic Reviews:
"A terrifying, engaging page-turner" (Kirkus)
"A chilling, captivating journey and I am left completely dazed by the end of it" (Rana Dasgupta, winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Fiction)
Members Reviews:
DESCENT INTO MADNESS
Entertaining and disturbing story that comes slowly to the boil.
The story is told through the voice of Guy Russell, an advertising copywriter, who is also a husband and father to a young son. When the family's second child is tragically stillborn, Guy takes his heartbroken wife and child to New York. There he hopes the change of scene will help restore the family to the normality it enjoyed in earlier times, and also to further his career. But what Guy finds in New York is not healing but a sequence of frightening events that grow in severity and strangeness to a very disturbing conclusion.
Iâll leave it there in order not to spoil what happens for interested readers. Suffice it to say that a lot of nasty stuff goes down.
There is a lot to recommend the book. I particularly enjoyed the authorâs use of telling the story through the voice of Guy, who is damaged by the family tragedy much more than he lets on. He is also either unwilling or unable to acknowledge the severity of the events as they unfold. Guy has a fondness for alcohol which casts doubt in both his mind and the reader's as to what is actually happening to the familyâall of which makes the story very compelling.
In the end, The Evil Inside is a story about a man struggling to keep his family together in the face of events he canât quite understand and hostile forces he wonât comprehend until itâs tragically too late. Check it out.
