Les Terreurs du jour
by Sarah Dalton Jennifer JoffreJ'ai toujours cru que mes démons sortaient le jour plutôt que la nuit. Je n'ai jamais eu peur du noir, mais plutôt des choses réelles : tomber malade, qu'on me fasse une piqûre, la douleur physique... Et la mort. Ce sont eux, mes monstres, pas les fantômes ou les vampires, ou toutes ces autres choses qui se cachent sous les lits la nuit. J'imagine que les tueurs en série pourraient effectivement tuer dans le noir, mais ils peuvent tout aussi bien le faire à la lumière du jour. J'avais tort. L'obscurité rend les choses bien pires. Lorsque Mary Hades, 17 ans, est internée par ses parents dans un service psychiatrique, ses pires cauchemars se réalisent. Comment pourrait-elle aller mieux dans un endroit qui la remplit de terreur? Son amitié avec les autres patients - sa coloc' un peu folle, Lacey, son protecteur, Mo, et le mystérieux Johnny aux yeux verts - commence à lui redonner espoir, jusqu'à ce qu'elle réalise que les gens meurent sans explication dans l'hôpital. Quelque chose de sinistre hante les couloirs, et c'est à Mary de l'arrêter ; mais plus elle se rapproche de la réponse, et plus sa situation devient périlleuse... Et Mary découvre que la seule façon de s'en sortir en vie, c'est de faire face à ce qui l'effraie le plus.
