Par cette rcriture horrifique du conte clbre Raiponce, engouffrez-vous au coeur dun abme o les masques de monstre et de victime couvrent le mme visage; o tous, y compris les sauveurs, nchappent pas aux rgles qui dictent labomination humaine. Un incendie mortel dans un hpital psychiatrique pour enfants. Des jeunes femmes qui disparaissent de manire inexplique. Une adolescente capture son tour par un tre dfigur qui se plat lui brosser sauvagement les cheveux au creux dune mine dsaffecte. Un chasseur psychopathe dcouvrant par hasard le repaire du monstre. Et lhorreur sanglante qui senglue dans les mches blondes de ce trophe vivant.

1. Ghosts, magic, monsters, murder...
2. Repo! The Genetic Opera. I think it counts as horror!
3. I‘m drawing a blank. But the retelling of Rapunzel I tagged was disturbing and scary!
4. Mostly horror-ish rather than fully horror, like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries, Hannibal... I‘ve watched some of Supernatural, too.
5. I don‘t mind.
6. Is there any horror subgenre you don‘t like?

BookwormAHN I don't think it's an actual sub genre but I'm really sick of cannibal hillbillies. 4y
AmyG Classics plus zombies or vampires...etc. 4y
Twainy #6 - well I love horror but random slasher with no plot ... meh. 4y
teebe In books, I don‘t think slasher storylines can be sustained for that long without getting dull. 4y
ulrichyumiodd @BookwormAHN @AmyG @Twainy @teebe Thank you for your answers! Indeed, I don‘t think I‘ve ever picked up a slasher story - not my style. I also struggle to find a thriller that I love. I usually end up feeling “meh”. 4y

Horror retelling of Rapunzel

Inconsistent writing style. Most scenes are great nonetheless, especially for a horror story - they leave you hoping for the survival of the victim, so you want to keep reading. The author tried to replace the prince with a psychopathic hunter, which fell short for me. I wish we knew more about the witch or “Rapunzel”‘s parents instead. The book is overpriced, but I LOVE the cover, so I‘m glad to have a physical copy.

New book! It‘s a French retelling of Rapunzel, part of a collection of “forbidden tales”. The collection seems pretty gruesome, so I‘m curious to see if the books are good or just using violence and horror for shock value.

Jess_Franzino Please tell me there‘s a version of this in English 😍 5y
ulrichyumiodd @Jess_Franzino Unfortunately, I believe the author and the publisher are from Quebec, so I would not expect an English version any time soon. I‘ll let you know if I hear about translations! 5y
