About this listen

Lost meets The Passage in this incredible new thriller, for all fans of The Shining Girls and Stephen King.

They're here... The boy. The boy watch the boy watch the dead people oh Lordy there's so many... They're coming for me now. We're all going soon. All of us. Pastor Len warn them that the boy he's not to­­. The last words of Pamela May Donald (1961 - 2012)

Black Thursday. The day that will never be forgotten. The day that four passenger planes crash, at almost exactly the same moment, at four different points around the globe.

There are only four survivors. Three are children, who emerge from the wreckage seemingly unhurt. But they are not unchanged. And the fourth is Pamela May Donald, who lives just long enough to record a voice message on her phone. A message that will change the world. The message is a warning.

Critic reviews

THE THREE is really wonderful. A cross between Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining. (Stephen King)
Sarah Lotz is a ferociously imaginative storyteller whose twisty plots will kick the stairs out from under you. She's a talent to watch. (Lauren Beukes)
The finest thriller I've read in years. Dark, subtle and completely unputdownable, I was enthralled from the opening line to the last. (Sarah Pinborough)
One of the finest, freakiest horror novels I've read. (Chuck Wendig)
The author's use of the oral-history format, with its shifting voices and points of view, is a stroke of genius: the reader is in a state of near-constant confusion at the beginning, which is slowly replaced by unease and then dread as the various commentators start to see the bigger picture. A very creepy, very effective novel. (David Pitt)

... but it never did. I usually enjoy slow, creeping horror, but this was just slow and dull. The story never took off and there was never any real payoff to listening until the end. Narration was okay, but white Brits imitating stereotypical Japanese and South African accents is... uncomfortable.

Kept waiting for the tension to rise...

Any additional comments?

A wonderful if not flawed commentary on modern society's penchant for drama, melodrama and hysteria. From the word "go" you know this isn't going to work out well for "The Three" or anyone connected with them. Sarah does a wonderful job of capturing each character's flaws while still making them appealing.

Like watching a train wreck
