Hello, fellow Friday 56ers!
For this week's Friday 56 pick, hosted by My Head is Full of Books, I am featuring the 2025 horror novel The Captive by British author Kit Burgoyne. An ARC has been collecting dust on my desk for a bit too long.
Now, here’s a preview from page 56:
When you're brought up at a place like Cyneburne, you eventually discover that life outside is quite different—in innumerable ways it is quite different, but one of them is the basic physical fabric of it; even as a girl, she remembers thinking that most things out in the real world felt unaccountably flimsy and thin.
— Burgoyne, Kit. The Captive, Soho Press, 2025, p. 56.
According to the blurb, the plot has been compared to Rosemary's Baby. I plan to read the novel over the weekend, and I expect to have my review ready by Monday.
