CREEPY SISTER FICTION is not that hard to come by. Sisters, after all, provide great territory for things to go seriously wrong. And watching them go there has that certain can’t-take-your-eyes-off-this quality. So it is with the masterful psychological thriller The Sister, by Poppy Adams. A debut novel written in the voice of older sister Ginny, whose ordered life gets wildly disrupted by the return of sister Vivien, the book is part ghost story, part love story, and every inch a neo-Gothic tale.
The Detroit News called it “deliciously creepy.” Oh yeah. The sisters come from a long line of lepidopterists—scientists who study moths and butterflies—which is what Ginny has quietly been doing in the sprawling family Victorian when Vivien comes home to stay. Ginny has been sticking pins in moths for decades. Doing so to her sister, it seems, is not such a huge leap.
Available in a lush trade paperback from Anchor Books, The Sister would be a fabulous gift either for a sister with a sense of humor, or perhaps one to whom you’d like to give a little jab.
