El best seller del nuevo maestro del terror, Grady Hendrix
Cuando Louise se entera de que sus padres han muerto, teme volver a casa. No quiere dejar a su pequeña con su ex y volar a Charleston. No quiere enfrentarse al domicilio familiar, donde se amontonan los restos de la vida académica de su padre y de la constante obsesión de su madre por los títeres y los muñecos. No quiere aprender a vivir sin las dos personas que mejor la han conocido y más la han querido del mundo entero.
Sobre todo, no quiere tener que lidiar con su hermano, Mark, que nunca ha salido de Charleston, es incapaz de conservar un empleo y no lleva bien el éxito de Louise. Por desgracia, ella lo necesita, porque, para vender esa casa, va a hacer falta algo más que una manita de pintura y retirar los recuerdos de toda una vida. Pero hay casas que no se dejan vender, y la de Louise y Mark tiene otros planes para ellos dos…
Grady Hendrix, autor superventas del New York Times, aborda el clásico de la casa encantada en una nueva y apasionante novela que explora hasta qué punto el pasado ―y la familia― pueden llegar a aterrarnos más que cualquier otra cosa.

A ratos desagradable, los personajes no me han caído muy bien, pero hay partes de la historia que sí han merecido la pena.

Mm I have a lot of mix feelings with this book. As the book begin I didn’t really like it at all. The characters, specially Louis, is unbearable, a mean and selfish person, I couldn’t be empathic with her, I couldn’t find an ‘excuse’ for her actions and thoughts, not even for the incident ‘pupkin’. Almost at 30% of the book, which is a lot, i was intrigue and I did wanted to keep reading. But again, I was disappointed. It was totally a rullercoster. It is not at all believable that you can’t take away a rag (puppet) from your eyes and then pupkin stabbed you a needle to your eye? She didn’t even scream, don’t take it off, the ‘puppet of rag’ keep pushing the needle in? And she doesn’t do anything until the end? Doesn’t make sense at all. And this keeps going on. She didn’t take off the puppet of the hand when the puppet asked her to kill his brother and lie about that, but she did take it off and finally she felt sad only because her toys didn’t want to talk to her anymore? but she didn’t worry and she didn’t felt scared or sad when she saw her brother drowning and almost dead. I don’t have word for the stress I feel. The scenes of ‘fights’ with the rag (puppet) are dumb, and didn’t believe it at all. A it was so frustrating this book. And their “solutions” bc of the “so awful fights” also are stupid. I only consider that the final scene was good, that I did enjoyed. In the end I don’t recommended. I bet there are much better books of evil puppets if you want that kind of evil. And of course there are better books of terror.
