The Suffering

In David Sodergren's chilling novel The Suffering, Dr. Henrik Persson visits the remote Sant’Arcangel convent in northern Italy just before a winter storm cuts it off from the outside world. When he discovers an injured girl in the forest and decides to stay and care for her, he unwittingly invites a sinister presence into the convent. As snow falls and isolation deepens, the haunting force unleashes violence and madness within the ancient walls, leading to a harrowing battle against dread and despair.
