cabin at the end of the world by paul tremblay

The three of them are vacationing in an isolated cabin, with no cell reception. And although not as perfect as Wen believes, they are still good and loving parents. She idolizes her parents, Eric and Andrew. It felt like an authentic 7 year old's voice to me. I love that we are inside her mind for the first chapter. I was able to get it from my library and eagerly began reading.įirst off, the character Wen is adorable. So I was very excited when I heard about The Cabin at the End of the World. It was one of my favorite books of the year. I read A Head Full of Ghosts last summer and loved it. The Cabin at the End of the World is a masterpiece of terror and suspense from the fantastically fertile imagination of Paul Tremblay. Thus begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are entwined. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: 'Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, 'None of what's going to happen is your fault'. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road.

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense that recalls Stephen King's Misery, Ruth Ware's In a Dark, Dark Wood, and Jack Ketchum's cult hit The Girl Next Door.
