Description
Glister by John Burnside is a dark and unsettling novel that explores the sinister forces lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. In the town of Innertown, children vanish into the old chemical plant every year or so, leaving behind only mystery and terror. The local policeman, Morrison, knows more than he lets on about these disappearances, and his involvement in a cover-up has left him compromised. As the truth begins to unravel, Leonard finds himself trapped in the poisoned ruins of the plant, where he discovers another boy who may be the missing Liam or just a product of his own imagination. With its haunting prose and unflinching exploration of violence and loss, Glister is a gripping and unsettling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
