The Three

Sarah Lotz writes a horror-fiction like nobody else. The story is patched together by stories revolving around an even greater story. She weaves them together to create a cloth that reminds of both Stephen King and Shirely Jackson. A mystery that builds and builds and becomes more strange for each turn of the page. Lotz is a master of building the supsence, of creating a reality not far from our, but far enough to send goosebumps along your back.

The Three is a story covering the event called "Black Thursday". This is to describe a day where 4 different planes went down on four different continents. A great tragedy, only made bearable by the three young kids that survived. One Japanese boy, a girl from the UK and another boy from the States. There were a fourth survivor, a woman named Pamela, but who died on the way to the hospital. Her last message to her loved ones were "Don't trust the boy, he is not..."

This creates a myth that the surviving childring are anything but children, and the people following this myth calls themselfs Pamelist, in honor for Pamela who warned them. But are the children really children still? Are anyone who survived the loss of their entire family still a child? Or have they become something darker? Are they still the same children who borded the plane?

Strange things seem to happen around the children, and that drives their caretakers slowly to the brink of madness. They are just kids, arn't they?
