Chronicle Supposing Books The Taking of Peggy Martin
The setting is East Texas, where Peggy, a young nurse, works at an institution for the criminally insane. After her husband Danny is mysteriously killed in a car accident, she convinces herself that it was murder… and she knows the murderer by name… Jasper Johnson. When she gets notice from Marbelle Johnson, Jasper’s mother, requesting an impromptu meeting, she discovers that the filthy rich oil baroness believes Danny to have been the bastard child of her deceased husband, Charles Johnson.Peggy, irreparably damaged from childhood by religious fanaticism, reluctantly agrees to exhume Danny’s body. Reeling with doubt, all the while fearing betrayal by the Johnsons, she finds herself bordering on insanity.
Shackled in darkness, Peggy throws herself into her work only to find herself face to face with a blonde haired, blue eyed schizophrenic in a straitjacket. Quite by circumstance she discovers that this patient, Morgan Dubois, who as a child was found burrowed in the ground in the Piney Wood Thicket, has a link not only to her late husband, but also to the aberrations of her mind.
As secrets are revealed and it becomes apparent that something or someone wants to silence their tongues, Peggy is forced to seek refuge with the Johnsons. Together, as death finds them, one by one, they set upon a perilous journey in search of truth. Deep in the heart of the Piney Wood Thicket, they stumble upon Cypress Creek and discover an existence older than time itself. Peggy, caught in a maelstrom of emotions, torn between two worlds, finds herself in a desperate battle, not only for her life, but for that of all of mankind.

I am obsessed with psychological thrillers and horrors, so when a friend recommended The Taking of Peggy Martin (which she assured me was a perfect mixture of the two), I was all over it. A dark twisting plot, an oppressive atmosphere, and a spooky institute for the criminally insane, makes for a spine-chilling novel that will have you sleeping with the lights on for a week. Steer clear of the woods. Karin Glista has written a really accomplished horror novel, that ramps up the tension right up

Peggy is a tortured individual, dealing with a host of psychological and emotional traumas. Prior to the opening of the book, her husband, was killed suddenly in a car accident. This starts Peggy on a path that winds into a mental landscape of depression, self-harm, paranoia, hallucinations, and delusion. Yet, Peggy is also the
The Taking of Peggy Martin is a thought-provoking read, this season. Karen Glista implicated depression, paranoia, hallucination and PTSD in a nifty manner, unique but slightly different. I had to read this book twice for me to visualise a poignant movie of it. It encapsulates culture, belongingness and exclusion, altogether. Highlighting that moving past tremors and plaguing memories of horrible life incidents to not only be difficult but also mentally infuriating. It was a challenge, and Peggy
This is definitely one on those books that transcends genres in a successful way and I was hooked right from the beginning. There is what youd expect with a dark, thrilling criminal aspect with the murder of Peggys husband, but the intrigue and suspense elements proceeding from there provided so much more than Id expect from a bestseller. Add in the supernatural / horror elements and you have got a recipe for a nailed-on bedtime page-turner.Fast-paced writing and a gripping storyline whisked me
