Beyond Black

Rachel Prudden

This was one of those books where I "couldn't put it down". I finished it in a day. This was mostly down to the shear nastiness, the twisting, clinging, clammy unpleasantness that made me want to be out the other side as quickly as possible. 

Similar to The Vegetarian (the only book I've ever deliberately left in an airport) a star rating doesn't feel quite appropriate. This book is something unique, and I'm not sure I want it in the house.

Trouble spirals out of control for a psychic and her personal assistant when they take up with a spirit guide and his drowned therapist after moving to a suburban wasteland. By the author of A Change of Climate. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.

Alison Hart is a medium by trade. But her ability to communicate with spirits is a torment rather than a gift. Behind her plump, smiling and bland public persona is a desperate woman. Her days and nights are haunted by the men she knew in her childhood, the thugs and petty criminals who preyed upon her hopeless, addled mother, Emmie. And the more she tries to be rid of them, the stronger and nastier they become.
