小陌生人

2018年9月日改編同名電影【小陌生人 The Little Stranger】

我有種感覺，好像花園裡有東西潛伏在我們身邊，它正踩過清脆的白色雪地，躡手躡腳一步一步靠近我們。

最不妙的是，詭異的直覺告訴我，無論這東西是什麼，它很可能是「舊識」，它想接近卻感到羞怯，是因為它想「回來」了。

　　二戰後的一個夏天，鎮上的法拉第醫生在代班時，被請到偏遠的豪翠山莊出診，那裡自兩百年以前就是艾瑞斯家族的宅邸。這座英國喬治亞王朝時期建造的豪宅，過去十分輝煌氣派，如今卻是漸漸衰頹，不但磚瓦傾頹、庭院雜草叢生，馬廄裡掛的時鐘還永遠指向八點四十。

　　艾瑞斯家族現今僅存的三個人：艾瑞斯上校夫人、夫人的兒子及女兒，相依為命住在這棟凋蔽破敗的大宅邸裡，不但要掙扎著努力跟上外面瞬息萬變的社會腳步，同時也面臨著三人相處時的內心衝突。

　　然而，怪異的事突然一件件接踵發生，艾瑞斯這一家人，是否其實遇上了比「落伍的生活方式」更不祥的東西？跟他們糾纏不清的，會是另一股更邪惡的力量嗎？

"The #1 book of 2009...Several sleepless nights are guaranteed."—Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly

One postwar summer in his home of rural Warwickshire, Dr. Faraday, the son of a maid who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country physician, is called to a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the Georgian house, once impressive and handsome, is now in decline, its masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. Its owners—mother, son, and daughter—are struggling to keep pace with a changing society, as well as with conflicts of their own. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more sinister than a dying way of life? Little does Dr. Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become intimately entwined with his.

Sarah Waters was born in Wales in 1966. She has been shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange prizes and three of her four novels have been adapted for television.
