内容简介

From Jason Rekulak, Edgar-nominated author of The Impossible Fortress, comes a wildly inventive spin on the classic horror story in Hidden Pictures, a supernatural thriller about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets.

Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.

    为了熬到三点的比赛,打发时间随便看看。前面铺垫得神经兮兮的倒也有点儿意思,插画也比较加分。最尴尬的是某两段大段的独白(几近独白),都2022年了,还不知道言多必挂吗?而最无语的设定毫无疑问是夏天和游泳池……如果所有人天天裹得像北极熊,我还能接受被作者戏耍,而现在我太生气了!12-11

    最後原成功了,但是覺得前面的鋪墊很沉重。07-14

    I love the background of the tale, an utopia I can envisage. The boy, the old lady, or even Ted are sincere. Even though Mallory has her inglorious, to narrow it down, deviate past, she’s always been proceeding. With that, she won the affection of Adrian. The only minus is, I suppose, that there seem to be illogical plots in the final sections.07-20

    构思巧妙,反转意外,灵异元素的运用恰到好处。虽然没有收在最精彩的地方,但是结尾非常温情。03-29

    挺悬疑的,就是故事不是有点脱离现实感觉,有点离奇,可能因为不是我太喜欢的类型吧……05-14
