The Hymn

Frankly, a ridiculous storyline with characters which were so unbelievable i.e an elderly Nazi who could burn people by looking at them, his nymphomaniac associate who was going to live forever, the blind injun boy with extraordinary perception etc. But I read the whole book very quickly and to my surprise enjoyed it as it was so out of kilt and I can only believe that Masterton intented that people would see this a fun book that was so outrageous it became funny.

LIoyd Denman apprend que sa fiancée, Celia, vient de s'immoler par le feu. Un suicide incompréhensible, aberrant, qui n'est que le premier d'une longue série. Le lendemain, c'est Marianna, l'une des meilleures amies de Celia, que l'on découvre morte, brûlée vive. Et un autocar dont on retrouve tous les passagers carbonisés, tranquillement assis à leur place. Bientôt, au détour d'une rue, LIoyd croit apercevoir Celia. Hallucination, ou celle-ci serait-elle revenue d'entre les morts ?
