Bayanin samfur
- One of the finest and best-selling horror novels of the 1970s returns at last to chill a new generation of readersIn the isolated farming community of Harlowe, New Hampshire, where life has changed little over the past several decades, John Moore and his wife Mim work the land that has been in his family for generations. But from the moment the charismatic Perly Dinsmore arrives in town and starts soliciting donations for his auctions, things begin slowly and insidiously to change in Harlowe. As the auctioneer carries out his terrible, inscrutable plan, the Moores and their neighbors will find themselves gradually but inexorably stripped of their freedom, their possessions, and perhaps even their lives ...A chilling masterpiece of terror whose sense of creeping menace and dread increases page by page, Joan Samson's The Auctioneer (1975) is a rediscovered classic of 20th-century fiction. With echoes of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and Stephen King's Needful Things, Samson's novel returns to print at last in this long-awaited new edition, which features an introduction by Grady Hendrix (Horrorstör, Paperbacks from Hell) and an afterword by the author's husband.Buy this book ... there is no way to stop reading it, once you've started! - Baltimore SunA well-made piece of dynamite ... For all their talk, the author seems to be saying, men will permit their souls to be carried away bit by bit and auctioned off to the highest bidder. Samson has written a suspenseful, engrossing novel with the most gripping and violent ending we've encountered for some time. - NewsdayA frightening novel . . . a powerful book from a powerful writer. - The Grand Rapids PressA novel you may never forget . . . a tight classic. - San Diego TribuneBrilliant, compelling . . . Add a powerful twist at the end and you have a total novel that takes hold of the reader on Page One and never lets go until the finish. This just could prove to be one of the top thrillers of the year. - Dayton News

United States Editorial Review
**** "The Auctioneer" by Joan Samson has emerged as a notable piece of 70s horror literature, gaining renewed interest thanks to Grady Hendrix's efforts in his "Paperbacks from Hell" series. Readers are drawn into a gripping narrative filled with suspense and foreboding, centered around a family besieged by a malevolent auctioneer. The tension is palpable throughout the book, encouraging readers to turn pages with mounting anxiety, and many express deep satisfaction upon reaching the conclusion. Some readers appreciate the book's ability to resonate with contemporary themes, drawing parallels between its populist undertones and modern socio-political dynamics. The narrative explores how easily liberty can be relinquished, showcasing a gradual encroachment on freedoms that serves as a cautionary tale for today's audience. It skillfully promotes introspection on societal tendencies to yield rights when threatened. However, not all feedback is entirely complimentary. Critics point out certain tonal uniformity throughout the novel, lacking moments of levity or complexity in the character portrayals. As a result, some aspects can feel tedious, likened to Consuming a satisfying dish without its pleasurable accompaniments. The repetitiveness of character interactions and indecision also contributes to a sense of dragging, suggesting that the pacing could benefit from a tighter structure. Despite these criticisms, readers find "The Auctioneer" to be a significant thriller that provides both entertainment and an ability to provoke thought on the human condition. The novel serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of liberty and remains relevant even decades after its publication. **
