The details of the book I'm looking for are as follows; Read in my teens, so around ten years ago - 2000 or possibly earlier. Science fiction/Horror - possibly teen fiction - could have been a Point Horror or similar? Cover of the book was a skull with a translucent dome in the cranium. About a British town (with a bad past?) which is suddenly enclosed in a impenetrable dome (to stop evil from escaping?). People can enter the dome but not exit it - I think it was a fog or mist surrounding the town. I think there was quite a dramatic rape scene quite early on - violence is rife - can't remember if this was before/the cause of the dome, or because of it. Story lines run simultaneously - one inside, one outside the town. The story line outside involved a older male researcher who is in a wheelchair - he might be ex-army or similar. Toward the end of the story, he decides to enter the fog in his wheelchair - on the end of a rope & with radio communication with people on the outside. Both fail quickly. Over time the dome begins to shrink, and will eventually disappear the whole town leaving a blank space (crater?). This is revealed near the end of the book to have happened elsewhere before. I've checked the story lines for "James Herbert - the Fog" & Stephen King "Under the Dome" - it is neither of these. Southern Heel fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Feb 25, 2010 |
