El Libro de Los Accidentes / The Book of Accidents - by Chuck Wendig (Paperback)

About the Book

"A new ... literary horror ... about a family returning to their hometown--and to the dark past that haunts them still. Long ago, Nathan Graves lived in a house in the country with his abusive father--and has never told his family what happened in that house. Long ago, Maddie Graves was a little girl making dolls in her bedroom when she saw something she shouldn't--and is trying to remember that lost trauma by making haunting sculptures. Long ago, something sinister, something hungry, walked in the tunnels and the mountains and the coal mines of their hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Now Nate and Maddie are married, and they have moved back to their hometown with their son, Oliver. And now what happened long ago is happening again ... and it is happening to Oliver. He meets a strange boy who becomes his best friend, a boy with secrets of his own, and a taste for dark magic. This dark magic puts them at the heart of a battle of good versus evil and a fight for the soul of the family--and perhaps for all of the world. But the Graves family has a secret weapon in this fight: their love for each other"--

Book Synopsis

Finalista del Premio Locus

Una de los mejores libros del año, según la Biblioteca Pública de New York

Una obra maestra de terror literario escrita por el autor de Los sonámbulos, considerado por toda la crítica como el gran relevo de Stephen King.

Hace mucho tiempo, Nathan vivía en una casa de campo con un padre maltratador, y nunca le ha contado a su familia lo que ocurrió allí. Hace mucho tiempo, Maddie era una niña que jugaba a las muñecas en su habitación y vio algo que no tendría que haber visto... Y ahora intenta recordar aquel momento traumático creando unas esculturas inquietantes.

Hace mucho tiempo, algo siniestro y voraz deambulaba por los túneles y las montañas y las minas de carbón de su ciudad natal en la zona rural de Pensilvania. Ahora, Nate y Maddie Graves están casados y han regresado a ese lugar con su hijo, Oliver. Y ahora, lo que ocurrió hace mucho tiempo ha empezado a ocurrir otra vez... Y le está ocurriendo a Oliver.
