A convent cut off by winter

At a remote convent in the mountains of northern Italy, Dr Henrik Persson intends to make a brief visit before winter closes the roads. When an injured girl is brought in from the surrounding forest, he stays to care for her—and a sinister presence arrives with her. The snowbound setting concentrates the story around a small community cut off from outside help, while the threat moves through the convent’s corridors. The description points to cosmic horror with explicit bodily destruction, framed around survival, death, and the consequences of sheltering a stranger.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers of cosmic or eldritch horror
  • Readers interested in isolated settings and supernatural threats
  • Readers comfortable with graphic bodily horror

Book overview

"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 from David Sodergren, author of The Haar and Maggie's Grave.
