Gone With The Wind: The Cold Wind Belows
The Wind- is a excellent psychological horror that has suspense, thrills and drama and its set in late nineteenth-century on the American frontier. Its a supernatural western film and its excellent.

The plot: Lizzy is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be borne of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrive at a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy's fears, setting into motion a shocking chain of events.

The suspense, the thrills, the psychological, the supernatural and the horror are all excellent. I highly recordmend watching this film.

There is a reason why this book won the Man Booker Prize 2019 (jointly with Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments). It’s perfection, in my opinion.

This is written in 12 chapters, each featuring a named character. They’re Black (one unknowingly so), British (although one no longer lives in the UK and thinks of herself as American) and Female (and one no longer identifies as female). They’re all different ages and from different backgrounds, but some are linked, and these characters are linked in grouped chapters.

I loved the writing style - a kind of prose poetry - with a lack of capital letters and punctuation. After a couple of pages of acclimatisation, it became a really fluid read - like a thought process.

I really enjoyed reading about their different lifestyles, different origins and where their lives took them.

A really satisfying, thought provoking read.
