DARK MATTER: A GHOST STORY

Book ID/图书代码: 10010010B36438

English Summary/英文概要: ’What is it? What does it want? Why is it angry with me?’
January 1937.
Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he’s offered the chance to be the wireless operator on an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it.
Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken.
But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go.
Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible.
And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone.

Something walks there in the dark.

A terrifying 1930s ghost story set in the haunting wilderness of the far north.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 它是什么?它想要什么?为什么它会对我发怒?
1937年1月
战争的乌云笼罩着雾蒙蒙的伦敦。28岁的 Jack是一个贫穷,孤独,并对生活感到绝望的人。所以当他有幸成为北极探险队的广播接线员的时候,高兴得快要跳起来了。
当船到达挪威的时候,大家的精神马上亢奋起来:五个人和六只爱斯基摩犬在午夜的光线下穿越巴伦比海。最后他们发现了一个偏远,荒芜的海湾Gruhuken,于是几个人准备在这里扎营到下一年。
但是北极的夏天十分短暂,当黑夜再次笼罩这片大陆时,Jack感到十分不适应。一个接一个地,他的同伴们也开始犹豫着想要离开。他即将面临一个艰难的决定。那就是,留下或是离开。
他即将迎来最后一次日出。极夜的降临意味着驻营地要经历好几个月的黑暗。很快,他发现回去的想法破灭了——海路一结冰,逃生的机会就十分渺茫。
其实,Gruhuken并不是一个无人居住的地方,Jack也绝不是孤身一人。
有人在黑暗中慢慢靠近了。
这是一个以荒芜的极地为背景的30年代惊悚故事。(兼职翻译-PXD)
