Brother

Product Information

Young brother Michael goes along with the family. Because he really has to provide for the family because times is rough. Web: h Born in Ciechanow Poland, Ania has always been drawn to the darker, mysterious, and sometimes morbid sides of life. Her earliest childhood memory is of crawling through a hole in the chain link fence that separated her family home from the large wooded cemetery next door. She’d spend hours among the headstones, breaking up bouquets of silk flowers so that everyone had their equal share. The characterizations are fantastic. Momma’s a serial killer, Wade (their dad) is an enabler, Reb is psychotic, unpredictable, and clearly a serial-killer-in-training. Misty Dawn just wants to listen to her music and avoid Momma’s wrath; she asks Michael to bring her jewelry from the corpses. Reb and Michael spend much of their time finding suitable victims for Momma, which is a twist on the serial killer genre that I haven’t seen before. It is so well written, although horrifying, it feels 100% plausible. I mean, why couldn't this happen?

Brother is the terrifying tale of a family’s disturbing traditions, and of one brother’s determination to break free from all he has ever known. In a crooked farmhouse off the beaten path and miles away from civilization live the Morrows. A band of eccentric recluses, the family keeps to themselves so as not to be questioned by local police when girls go missing from the side of the highway. But nineteen-year-old Michael Morrow is different. He derives no pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. There’s no better time than October to read a really terrifying book, and I’m so glad I started my Halloween month with Ania Ahlborn’s newest horror novel, BROTHER. It far exceeded my quota for suspense, chills, and gore. Let’s get right to the meat of it. I LOVED it. This week has been all kinds of real life crazy for me and I guess it's fitting that I finished this craziness on Halloween night. Content note: Slurs, molestation, graphic animal harm/death, a bit of gore, a touch of necrophilia, and cannibalism. So I was expecting (and received) blood and gore. What I did not plan for was for such a deep story. The getting there was all the fun (???? – if you’re nuts like Mitchell). As for my reaction? I don’t do so well with feelings. They tend to make me all . . . .

Numbered Edition

in the early 1980s and located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. The pic turns on the depraved Morrow family, which lives off the beaten path and preys on young women whom they kidnap from the side of the highway. There’s unrest within the family, however, as their 19-year-old son Michael Morrow tries to break free from their clutches and escape his past. The signed limited edition of Brother by Ania Ahlborn is presented in two states ( Lettered and Limited), and is limited to five hundred and twenty-six copies. The edition measures 6¼” x 9¼” and features six full-color illustrations by World Fantasy Award winner Samuel Araya. Also included is a new introduction by Ania Ahlborn, and both editions are signed by the author and artist. This is the first signed limited edition of the novel, and the first time it is issued in hardcover. It's weird to me how a character, by no means a perfect person, can become so loved, instilling such heavy feelings of empathy in a reader. Even after this happens though, loyalty to the family remains one of the most important themes in his world. Ahlborn was born in Ciechanów, Poland. She earned a degree in English from the University of New Mexico. [2] Ahlborn is currently married and living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
