Behind the Red Door by Megan Collins
5.0
Megan Collins’s debut novel, The Winter Sister, was filled with gorgeous prose and a story that was spellbinding, atmospheric, and deeply touching. Her sophomore novel, Behind The Red Door doesn’t disappoint. Collins’s writing is highly evocative as she details a distressingly abnormal family that somehow produces a daughter, Fern, who is strong and resilient, though flawed with an anxiety that at times is paralyzing. She suffers from traumatic amnesia related to kidnapping that occurred twenty years earlier and she may hold the key to saving a kidnapping victim.
Behind The Red Door is a gripping, twisted thriller filled with insights into fear of ourselves, others, and horror movie staples: deep dark forests, isolated cabins, nightmares, and the inability to know who you can trust. The New England countryside itself becomes a disturbing character. The red herrings were subtly laid and entirely believable.
