( ) The Murders of Molly Southbourne is a story about enduring trauma and the fear that comes with mental illness (as this story acts as a parable for mental illness). Thompson asks: what happens when someone who looks exactly like you, comes from within you, seeking to destroy your relationships and to kill you. This is what suffering from undiagnosed mental illness in extreme cases feels like. The Murders of Molly Southbourne is a body horror/psychological thriller about a woman named Molly whose blood makes murderous doppelgängers when it is shed outside her body. She and her parents call them mollies. The reason that Molly’s blood has this effect is opaque to Molly, though as the story begins in Molly’s early childhood, it’s clear that this peculiar blood-borne disease is normal to Molly, even though she may be the only one in the world to suffer from it (although a letter from her mother reveals that Molly's disease was potentially somehow was passed on to her) Molly is trained from a young age to kill the mollies: to bleach and burn any of her blood that falls. So when she goes to college, she finds that her disease makes everything harder. She finds out that her relations with men ultimately result in their deaths. Her parents are killed (also by mollies, ones that were trapped in Molly’s childhood and overlooked),and in the conclusion, we learn that Molly is trying to find a lucid non-murderous mollie to replace her, because she’s tired of living. Talk about bleak. But Thompson has crafted a tale of life, death, love, and suffering and heartbreak that is so disturbing you can't look away. It's visceral, it's chilling, it's sad. AND there is truth to it. Molly is fighting herself and she destroys everything she is connected to. When mental illness goes untreated this is what it feels like. This is a powerful work of fiction. A szabályok egyszerűek: Ha látsz egy lányt, aki úgy néz ki, mint te, fuss! Ha nem tudsz, harcolj! Ne sebesülj meg! Ha mégis, és vérzel: felmos, felgyújt és fertőtlenít! Ha lyukat találsz, keresd meg a szüleidet! Amióta csak az eszét tudja, Molly Southbourne rendszeresen végignézi a saját halálát. Akárhányszor vérzik, egy másik molly születik, aki minden ízében hasonló Mollyhoz, és a lány elpusztítására törekszik. Molly számos módon képes végezni önmagával, de azzal is tisztában van, hogy amíg él, vadászni fognak rá. Nem számít, mennyire precízen követi a szabályokat, a mollyk előbb-utóbb rátalálnak. Vajon sikerül-e megfékeznie a vérontást, vagy egy hasonmása által éri el a végzete? Tade Thompson Nommo-díjas kisregénye a horror és weird műfajok eszköztárából építkezik, és egy olyan hátborzongató történetet mesél el, amihez foghatóval még nem volt dolgunk.

For as long as Molly Southbourne can remember, she's been watching herself die. Whenever she bleeds, another molly is born, identical to her in every way and intent on her destruction. Molly knows every way to kill herself, but she also knows that as long as she survives she'll be hunted. No matter how well she follows the rules, eventually the mollys will find her. Can Molly find a way to stop the tide of blood, or will she meet her end at the hand of a girl who looks just like her? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
