First comes catastrophe. Then comes survival.

Atmospheric, gripping, Wake is a chilling tale of horror and survival, by New Zealand's preeminent authors: a compelling story about how people cope when threatened by an invisible monster.

Wake Zusammenfassung

Wake Elizabeth Knox

A small community on New Zealand's Tasman Bay is suddenly overwhelmed by a bloodthirsty madness.

There are fourteen survivors.

Trapped in by a strange force-field called the 'no-go', cut off from the world outside, they must pull together, bury the dead and face their fears.

Because whatever caused the insanity is still at large. And it hasn't finished with them yet.

Wake is a riveting tour-de-force. A book about extreme events, ordinary people, heroic compassion - and invisible monsters.

Wake Bewertungen

One for fans of Stephen King * Red magazine *
Wake is a triumph all of its own. Knox writes with a rare psychological acuity about humans under pressure in an intolerable, incomprehensible predicament * Financial Times *
Knox keeps the monster off stage and examines the psychological consequences of its depredations on the survivors, subverting the norms of the horror genre and thus making the ambiguous finale all the more startling. Wake reads like a collaboration between Dean Koontz and John Wyndham, rewritten by Margaret Atwood * Guardian *
What starts off as a horror story builds into a taut, psychological sci-fi thriller that is alive to the troubling questions of what happens to humans when civilisation as they know it disintegrates * Sunday Times Culture *
Elizabeth Knox has the most original and lateral literary mind in New Zealand . . . I steamed through the book; by the end my hair stood of end. I shouted , Holy shit! several times * Metro *
Unflinchingly gory and truly insightful, this stand-out tale of humanity vs horror will keep you up all night * Heat magazine *
