The Unknown

內容簡介

內容簡介 1926年，五名女性從佛蒙特州一座偏遠的島嶼上失蹤了。如今，一百年過去了，同樣的慘劇正再度上演。掙扎求生的女演員瑪琳·基恩（Marin Keane）震驚地發現，自己竟然在一部大製作電影中獲得了一個角色，該片講述的是關於「新阿瓦隆（New Avalon）」這座島上未解之謎的故事，那是一座坐落在佛蒙特州遼闊法拉第湖（Lake Faraday）上的島嶼。而當她得知這個角色需要前往該地進行為期一週的考察研究旅行時，她感到更加驚訝。因為新阿瓦隆並非尋常島嶼。一個世紀前，那裡曾是通靈靈媒們的公社——直到他們在1926年全部銷聲匿跡。他們唯一留下的痕跡，是掛在島中央一棵老橡樹樹枝上的五件洋裝，失蹤的女性每人各有一件。有些當地人說她們只是離開了；另一些人則認為她們遭到了謀殺。但最主流的觀點——這得歸功於其中一名失蹤的年輕女子黛西·魯（Daisy Rue）所留下的日記——是一場失控的降神會召喚出了某種超自然造物，並將她們一個接一個地帶走了。抵達後不久，瑪琳和她的演員同伴們，包括傳奇女演員薇奧萊特·賴特（Violet Wright）和紅透半邊天的導演羅南·彼得斯（Ronan Peters），開始意識到新阿瓦隆島上的一切似乎都不太對勁。他們在夜裡聽到奇怪的噪音，並注意到島上上一任居民留下的神祕符號。而在一次突發的健康緊急狀況導致瑪琳、羅南和其他演員被困在島上之後，失蹤事件再度開始了。這究竟是有人企圖破壞電影拍攝的陰謀？還是這座島嶼傳聞中的超自然過去正在追上現實？隨著恐懼與猜忌不斷蔓延，瑪琳轉而求助於黛西的日記，希望裡面藏有解開新阿瓦隆女性遭遇真相的關鍵——並藉此阻止這座島嶼的恐怖歷史再度重演。In 1926, five women disappeared from a remote island in Vermont. Now, one hundred years later, it’s happening again.Struggling actress Marin Keane is shocked when she lands a role in a major motion picture about the unsolved mystery of New Avalon, an island on sprawling Lake Faraday in Vermont. She’s even more surprised when she learns that the role requires a weeklong research trip to that very spot.Because New Avalon isn’t your ordinary island. A century ago, it was a commune for spiritual mediums—until they all vanished in 1926. The only trace of them was five dresses hanging from the branches of an old oak tree in the middle of the island, one for each missing woman. Some locals say they simply left. Others think they were murdered. But the prevailing opinion, thanks to a diary left behind by one of the vanished, a young woman named Daisy Rue, is that a séance gone wrong conjured something supernatural that took them all one by one.Not long after arriving, Marin and her castmates, including legendary actress Violet Wright and white-hot director Ronan Peters, begin to realize all is not right with New Avalon. They hear strange noises in the night and notice mysterious symbols left behind by the island's previous occupants. And after a sudden health emergency leaves Marin, Ronan, and the other actors stranded on the island, the disappearances begin again.Is it the work of someone trying to derail the movie? Or is the island’s alleged supernatural past catching up with the present? As fear and suspicion mount, Marin turns to Daisy’s diary, hoping it holds the key to figuring out what really happened to the women of New Avalon—and how to keep the island’s terrible history from repeating itself.
