本屋で見つけた時、結構分厚かったので「これなら三日位かけて読めるかな~」なんて思ったのですが・・・。読み始めると先が気になって一晩で読んでしまいました。ストーリーの先が見えつつも、”おもしろ・こわい”といった感じで引き込まれました。文庫の帯びにアメリカで相当売れたようなことが書いてありましたが、納得です。

Eerie Suspense
2002/5/28
形式:ハードカバー
Suspense and murder set against the faade of an eerie New York apartment building form the backdrop for this latest novel from veteran author John Saul. When Caroline Evans' husband is murdered while jogging, her world is turned upside down. Trying to raise ten-year-old Ryan and twelve-year-old Laurie on the meager salary of an antique store employee, Caroline barely has enough money to survive. When she meets Tony Fleming, her circumstances seem to improve.
Upon their marriage, Caroline and her children move into Tony's apartment in The Rockwell, an ancient apartment building abounding with rumors of dead bodies and ghouls. Though many of the residents other than Tony are elderly, they seem unusually friendly towards the children even as Caroline begins to redecorate Tony's apartment. But Ryan's outspoken aversion to his kindly step-father and Laurie's nightmares put a damper on Caroline's newfound happiness. And when Laurie's sickness comes on the heels of the illness of their young neighbor Rebecca, Caroline begins investigating Tony's sacred study. The secrets she discovers there give Caroline a chilling sense of foreboding as Laurie's evil dreams intensify and she weakens further.
Mr. Saul has craftily executed the quintessential suspense/horror novel with the normality of the book's beginning being marred by the introduction of terrorizing elements. The mystery is a gradual evolution captivating the reader's attention. The only drawback is the somewhat abrupt ending after such a spellbinding build-up.

A really polished formula novel
2002/6/18
形式:ハードカバー
Normally, I'm not a great John Saul fan. I don't think he has the breadth of Stephen King. However, he does spin a good tale now and then. This is one of his better ones.
Saul does rely on a well worn formula: small family facing a hideous, supernatural foe. Unlike King, whose protagonists can come from any place in society, Saul seems to like all his characters to be graduates of Ivy League institutions and be upper middle class. I would like him to tackle a high-school dropout hero.
Nevertheless, Saul does introduce several plot developments that make this a decidedly above average book. I particularly liked then ending. He does capture the feeling of Manhatten. Other touches shows that Saul has really grown in his genre. A book worth reading.

Gripping Story, Excellent Narration
2004/8/5
形式:カセット
When Caroline Evans's husband is murdered in Central Park, she thinks her life is over until she meets Tony Fleming a resident of a posh New York apartment building. Although her children are uneasy living in the Rockwell, Caroline hopes they will adjust with time. Although initially happy, her son and daughter are plagued by nightmares, and the building inhabitants are both cloying and creepy...Is the Rockwell more than it seems or are Caroline and the children just imagining things?
I picked up Midnight Voices only because it is narrated by my favorite narrator Aasne Vigesaa, and I was not disappointed. Aasne manages to capture the voices of Caroline Evans, her new husband Tony, and the creepy residents of the Rockwell apartment building to a T.
This book is not for the faint of heart, however. The residents of the Rockwell are truly terrible. Without giving details away, at times I was forced to fast forward certain scenes where torture was murder were described in detail. Fortunately these scenes were few. I had only a couple of peeves with this book. 1. Its never really clear what the ghoulish people in the Rockwell are doing with their victims. Also. Its never clear how they themselves got to be the way they are. 2. The key ring which Caroline has from the antique store is just a little too handy. Especially at the end. 3. Social Services never followed up with the Albions about Rebecca Mahew. 4. Finally, the residents of the Rockwell weren't too smart in their choice of victims.
Other than that, this was a compelling and gripping audiobook. I truly hope there is a sequel.
