"À l’été 67, une jeune fille disparaît dans les épaisses forêts entourant Boundary Pond, un lac aux confins du Québec rebaptisé Bondrée par un trappeur enterré depuis longtemps. Elle est retrouvée morte, sa jambe déchirée par un piège rouillé. L’enquête conclut à un accident : Zaza Mulligan a été victime des profondeurs silencieuses de la forêt. Mais lorsqu’une deuxième adolescente disparaît à son tour, on comprend que les pièges du trappeur ressurgissent de la terre et qu’un tueur court à travers les bois de Bondrée. Une écriture raffinée au service d’atmosphères angoissantes et de subtiles explorations psychologiques, dans la plus pure tradition de Twin Peaks de David Lynch."--Résumé de l'éditeur

When George Washington died in 1799, towns throughout the country commemorated the event with solemn processions featuring empty coffins. In contrast, after Abraham Lincoln's death in 1865, his body was transported around the North and displayed for more than two weeks, for by then corpses could be autopsied, drained of their blood, and beautified for the benefit of mourners. This absorbing book explores the changing attitudes toward death and the dead in northern Protestant communities during the nineteenth century. Gary Laderman offers insights into the construction of an "American way of death," illuminating the central role of the Civil War and tracing the birth of the funeral industry in the decades following the war.Drawing on medical histories, religious documents, personal diaries and letters, literature, painting, and photography, Laderman examines the cultural transformations that led to nationally organized death specialists, the practice of embalming, and the commodification of the corpse. These cultural changes included the development of liberal theology, which provided more spiritual views of heaven and the afterlife; the concern for health, which turned those who managed death toward more scientific treatment of bodies; and growing sentimentalism, which produced an increased desire to gaze upon the corpse or to take and keep death photographs. In particular Laderman focuses on the transforming effect of the Civil War, which presented so many Americans with dead relatives who needed to be recovered, viewed, and given a "proper burial."
