Hex

Product Information

For the translation, HEX has been transposed from the Netherlands, where the original Dutch version takes place, to the United States. This is something I was originally wary of; I feel it sets a dangerous precedent, and that we should be able to relate to stories from other cultures and settings without needing them realigned with our own. However, given the current political climate in the United States, and the subtext of small town fear of outsiders that runs through HEX, I felt that the change actually worked really well and gave the story timely resonance. Spielbergian in the way Olde Heuvelt shows supernatural goings-on in the midst of everyday life... It’s a fabulous, unforgettable conceit and Olde Heuvelt makes the most of it.” ―The Guardian

La puesta en escena es de lo más original. Como caerte en un abismo del que no querrás salir, y de hacerlo, no lo harás indemne. it was fun and fast and creepy - i’ve never understood why witches were supposed to be scary; they’re just…magical ladies. but i would not want to live in this town, with this witch. or these people, for that matter. i'm glad i finally got around to reading this one.

At first, I was confused and I chalked it up to the possibility that the book was translated from Dutch and perhaps the odd whimsy and almost silly tones were just one off for American audiences. So I pressed on but I honestly didn't like large portions of the beginning.

In between all those edge of the seat moments though is quiet comtemplation, observations of human nature that dig into those dark recesses of humanity, to that part of all of us where we are still children hiding from the boogey man. This is proper old school horror where often what you don’t see is far worse than what you do – it reminded me of King when he’s right on it, messing with your head and getting you jumping at shadows. Hex had that in spades, it grabs you and does not let go, is paced to perfection, written beautifully and basically just scares the crap out of you. Los personajes hay de todo, muchos es para meterles una galleta en toda la cara. Otros prefieres que se encarge la bruja. King James didn’t start this particular witch-hunt, but he will certainly finish it. How does he fight the Devil? As in so many fairy tales, the cruelest part is often overlooked. It’s not the depravity of the witch, but the mourning of the poor woodcutter over the loss of his children.
