Harriet

Harriet is renowned as one of the most terrifying 'chillers' ever written. It conjures pure horror without resorting to blood, violence, or the supernatural. From the outset, it becomes clear that the seemingly charming people around Harriet could easily turn into merciless killers, intensifying the intrigue around each character. The unlucky mother, shrewdly trying to expose the guilty, finds herself up against the cold, relentless, and twisted minds of her own family. The silent, suffocating, and mindless cruelty inflicted on the innocent and passionate Harriet becomes almost unbearable, leading to a harrowing climax.
