The Vanishing by Tim Krabbé

4.0

I first read this book ten years ago and I didn't remember an awful lot about it but it had sat on my shelf for a decade begging to be reread. Its super short and the author utilises those pages really well. It's interesting to read such a concise and horrifying story translated from a different language (I can only assume effectively as I don't speak Dutch) as amongst an extensive collection of horror novellas, The Vanishing has a definitive voice and a life long place on my shelves. Definitely worth a read.
