Summary
A chilling, terrifying new novel from horror master David Sodergren, author of the cult classic The Haar, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Thomas Olde Heuvelt, and Josh Malerman.

“Are we safe here?”

Atop a remote mountain in northern Italy rests the Sant’Arcangel convent, a sanctuary for women from all walks of life. On the cusp of winter, Dr Henrik Persson pays his final visit of the year. He cannot stay long, for a storm is coming that will shut the convent off from the outside world.

But when a young girl is found injured in the surrounding forest, the victim of a savage attack, Henrik decides to remain in the convent and nurse her back to health. It is, he believes, the correct thing to do.

But something has followed the girl to Sant’Arcangel. And once the snow begins to fall, the sinister presence will run rampant through the miserable corridors, bringing violent, bloody madness to all it touches. When all hope is lost, what remains is... THE SUFFERING.

A gripping tale of love, death, and total bodily destruction, The Suffering is a new nightmare of escalating dread that will chill you to the bone.

Well. For starters, do not listen to this when you're eating. particularly if it involves custard.

If you can handle the gross bits, this is another excellent book from Sodergren. If you found The Substance hard to watch, maybe dive into another of his books instead.

Body horror in the extreme!

Fantastic listen, always been a fan of DS and his work. The narration is spot on and the story is up there with the best of David’s work.

Fantastic
