Über diesen Titel

The scorching new feminist apocalyptic novel and instant international bestseller from CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly. One of Esquire and Vulture's Best Horror Books of the year and a GoodReads Editors' Pick.

'Keep an eye on this rising feminist voice' - Tori Amos

In C.J Leede's latest genre-bending thriller, Sophie, a good Catholic girl who has been kept separate from the world, must traverse the apocalyptic hellscape of the midwest to try to find her lost brother, whilst learning the reality of her own sexuality in a suddenly lust-filled world.

A virus is spreading across America, transforming the infected and making them feral with lust. Nothing in Sophie's strict religious upbringing could have prepared her for the arrival of the scorching winds that sweep through the Midwest - not the righteous breath of God, but an evil gust that delivers an ungodly, fevered lust unto the virtuous and the wicked alike.

Though her own body has become a carnal battleground, she must somehow find her way through the ravaged world to rescue her brother, hoping the fever hasn't taken him; hoping he can still be saved. The end times are coming and Sophie soon discovers that there are far worse fates than dying a virgin . . .©2024 CJ Leede (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

Kritikerstimmen

'A riveting, sprawling, staggeringly brilliant novel about the horrors of shame and repression and sexual violence and moral panics. American Rapture is a riotous scream and an emotional ode to anyone who has ever hidden their true self under their mattress. Blood-soaked, heart-wrenching, grim and glorious. Leede is a singular talent' (Rachel Harrison, author of BLACK SHEEP)
'A bold, fiercely sharp, and deeply unsettling reimagining of the zombie apocalypse genre, which Leede crafts with equal parts anger and unwavering empathy' (Chuck Tingle, author of CAMP DAMASCUS)
'A blistering, feverish ride through a uniquely American apocalypse. Leede crafts a deeply compelling descent through an unraveling heartland' (Chuck Wendig, author of THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS)
'With a heart as innocent as that of its heroine, American Rapture is a brave book, a daring book, and most of all, a timely book. It's terrifying because it's true. Kudos to CJ Leede' (Alma Katsu, author of THE FERVOR)
'Cinematic, visceral, reflective, and palpable, American Rapture keeps you staying up late, hand on page ready to turn before you're done with the one you're on, and thinking about it for days on end when you finish. Bravo' (Ted Van Alst, co-editor of NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT)
'American Rapture has its finger on the bloody, fevered pulse, fearlessly addressing notions of love, sex, faith, redemption, individuality. You won't read anything else like it' (Keith Rosson, author of FEVER HOUSE)
