Laura Sims Libros
Laura Sims crea narrativas que profundizan en los inquietantes rincones de la obsesión y el deseo humano, a menudo descritas como una potente mezcla de terror psicológico y escalofriante perspicacia. Su prosa se caracteriza por un estilo meticuloso que genera una palpable sensación de malestar, atrayendo a los lectores a los intrincados y a menudo claustrofóbicos mundos interiores de sus personajes. Sims posee una rara habilidad para revelar las profundas ansiedades que acechan bajo la superficie de la vida cotidiana, haciendo que su obra sea a la vez perturbadora y cautivadora. A través de su voz distintiva, explora los impulsos más oscuros que llevan a los individuos a sus límites.

Though the two women live just a few doors apart, a chasm lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with a charmed career, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and stuck in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband’s cat. As her fascination grows, the narrator’s hold on reality begins to slip. Before long, she’s collecting cast-off items from the actress’s stoop and fantasizing about sleeping with the actress’s husband. After a disastrous interaction with the actress at the annual block party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunning—and irrevocable—unraveling. Immersive and darkly entertaining, Looker is a searing psychological portrait of obsession.
