Description

Margaret Carpenter is the lone witness to a macabre display at the local country club. The town’s affluent gathered for a benefit and quickly fell victim to a swarm of murderous wasps. Margaret can only find shelter in the kitchen and helplessly watch as the victims soon undergo a ghastly transformation. The massacre marked the climactic point of a topsy-turvy day which began with the receipt of a package from a missing friend.

Margaret’s long-time best friend was Charity Atwater and the pair were inseparable. However, their friendship was strained primarily due to a shocking incident that occurred at a party and soon became fodder for the high school rumor mill. Throughout the day, Margaret receives texts supposedly from Charity directing her and her friend Harry into an unimaginable nightmare featuring ravenous insects, desiccated corpses, and mad scientists.

The Queen delivers on the shocking and blood-curdling moments that define true horror. However, author Nick Cutter’s book is also a subtle study of grief in the death of relationships, whether it be Margaret and Charity’s friendship or the brother/sister bond between the unhinged Rudyard Crate and his sister Elizabeth. The Queen packs a wallop and is unforgettable.
