Old Soul
Old Soul | Susan Barker
5 posts | 4 read | 11 to read
The Historian meets Under the Skin in this searingly provocative literary horror novel about one womans determination to stay alive at any terrifying cost. In Osaka, two strangers, Jake and Mariko, miss a flight, and over dinner, discover they've both brutally lost loved ones whose paths crossed with the same beguiling woman no one has seen since. Following traces this mysterious person left behind, Jake travels from country to country gathering chilling testimonies from others who encountered her across the decadesa trail of shattered souls that eventually leads him to Theo, a dying sculptor in rural New Mexico, who knows the woman better than anyoneand might just hold the key to who, or what, she is. Part horror, part western, part thriller, Old Soul is a fearlessly bold and genre-defying tale about predation, morality and free will, and one mans quest to bring a centuries-long chain of human devastation to an end.

This one is hard to describe. It is marketed as horror, but the horror elements aren't as strong as I expected. Old Soul definitely creates a creepy, almost hypnotic atmosphere that will leave you feeling haunted by the story and the characters.

The story goes back and forth between different characters as the mystery unfolds. Although the book is slower paced, the unraveling of this story will keep you interested and unsettled until the end.

I am not the most familiar with the conventions of horror novels so they always seem to startle and surprise me when I make my way to one! Old Soul is everything you could desire from the genre: spooky and thrilling, gory and macabre, the mystery at its core kept me reading into the night even as I burrowed under the covers (for protection, ya know). I need you to read this one so we can talk about it!
