Items related to Hold the Dark – A Novel
Written with force and precision and grace (John Wilwol, New York Times Book Review) Hold the Dark is a taut and unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness (Dennis Lehane). At the start of another pitiless winter, wolves have taken three children from the remote Alaskan village of Keelut, including the six-year-old son of Medora and Vernon Slone. Wolf expert Russell Core is called in to investigate these killings and discovers an unholy truth harbored by Medora before she disappears. When her husband returns home to discover his boy dead and his wife missing, he begins a maniacal pursuit that cuts a bloody swath across the frozen landscape. With the help of a local police detective, Core attempts to find Medora before her husband does, setting in motion a deadly chain of events in this chilling, mysterious, and completely engaging novel (Tim O Brien) that marks the arrival of a major American writer."

Review:
A taut, muscular and often unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness. Epic, relentless, and beautifully realized.--Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River
[F]ierce, extraordinary.... An unnerving and intimate portrayal of nature gone awry. . . . Spectacularly violent and exquisitely written.--John Wilwol
A chilling, mysterious, and completely engaging novel that will keep readers turning pages late into the night. The cold and unforgiving Alaskan wild becomes much more than a backdrop for this spellbinding story. It becomes a character--a living creature with its own hungers, its own secrets, its own icy motives, its own implacable will. I was entranced.--Tim O'Brien
Giraldi's back-country Alaska is a savagely amoral place where the constant struggle for survival brings out the most elemental aspects of humanity. This work travels deep into the most ancient and primitive realms of being, offering an unflinching--and more than a little frightening--exploration of the domains of the unconscious that are more commonly the province of myth and fairy tale.
