Críticas

"Quite simply the best horror writer of our generation, Joe Hill's masterful storytelling is on full display in NOS4A2. It is by turns terrifying and hilarious, horrifying and full of heart, and relentlessly compelling."--Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet on NOS4A2

"[A] new take on the fantasy-horror genre...Highly recommended."--The Sun Herald (Sydney, Australia)

"[A] lovely, earnest collection of short fiction."--Village Voice

"NOS4A2 is a brilliant exploration of classic and modern monsters and dark fantasties, all cut up, restitched and retooled...With this novel, riveting from beginning to end, Joe Hill has become a master of his craft."--Publishers Weekly on NOS4A2

"Read it with the lights on and your children locked in a closet."--BookRiot.com on NOS4A2

"[Hill's] sentences crackle with wit and understated craftsmanship - the kind so skillful it is only visible if you're paying attention."--The Globe and Mail on NOS4A2

"Joe Hills NOS4A2 is one of the creepiest books I've read in a long time--and I mean that in a good way."--Tampa Bay Times on NOS4A2

"Hill's well-stocked bag of narrative tricks keeps the pages moving at a steady clip, and his characters are sufficiently melodramatic to make the book's scale feel both intimate and operatic. In fact, if you're an impressionable reader, stick to reading 'NOS4A2' during the day. "--Richmond Times-Dispatch on NOS4A2

"Words of warning for those who pick up this hefty, 704-page saga: You'll never listen to Christmas carols the same way. Or sleep with the lights off."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram on NOS4A2

"Like any good novel, no matter the genre, NOS4A2 zips down the streets of its mesmerizing story line not just in the Wraith but also, and more importantly, on the backs of high-octane characters...Hill imbues the pitter-patter of little feet with a terror you won't soon forget."--USA Today, 4 stars

Reseña del editor

The spine-tingling, bone-chilling novel of supernatural suspense from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman and Horns—now an AMC original series starring Zachary Quinto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ashleigh Cummings.

“A masterwork of horror.”— Time

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be.

Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of the everyday world and onto hidden roads that lead to an astonishing playground of amusements he calls Christmasland. The journey across the highway of Charlie's twisted imagination transforms his precious passengers, leaving them as terrifying and unstoppable as their benefactor.

Then comes the day when Vic goes looking for trouble...and finds her way to Charlie. That was a lifetime ago. Now, the only kid ever to escape Charlie's evil is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx hasn't stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. On the road again, he won't slow down until he's taken his revenge. He's after something very special—something Vic can never replace.

As a life-and-death battle of wills builds, Vic McQueen prepares to destroy Charlie once and for all—or die trying.
