Synopsis

Una poderosa y escalofriante novela de terror gótico ambientada en la Colombia del siglo XX. Perfecta para fans de Mexican Gothic, La maldición de Hill House y El resplandor.«Un debut absolutamente impresionante... Una autora a la que hay que seguir de cerca y un libro que hay que leer» —Cynthia Pelayo, autora de Vanishing Daughters y ganadora del Premio Bram Stoker.En 1920, Antonia y sus padres se mudan a La Casona, la opulenta mansión construída por ellos al borde del Salto del Tequendama: una majestuosa cascada a las afueras de Bogotá, que alguna vez adoraron los indígenas muiscas. Lo que comienza como un sueño pronto se convierte en tragedia: mientras decenas de personas van al Salto a quitarse la vida, Antonia empieza a sufrir pesadillas terribles y Estela, su madre, desvaría cada vez más. La estocada final ocurre cuando Estela cae al vacío, y su padre, enloquecido por el dolor, intenta quemar la casa con Antonia todavía dentro.Tres años después, atormentada por sueños perturbadores y el críptico diario de su difunta madre, Antonia regresa a la casa, ahora convertida en un lujoso hotel. Pero la visita desencadena una serie de visiones y recuerdos fragmentados que la obligan a preguntarse sobre las verdaderas circunstacias de la muerte de su madre. En busca de respuestas, y sin poder confiar en nadie, Antonia se lanzará a desenterrar los secretos más oscuros de La Casona. El horror ancestral que habita entre sus muros ha sido despertado, y ya no hay vuelta atrás.Un debut inolvidable de Caronlina Flórez-Cerchiaro, la nueva reina del gótico latinoamericano.

Haunted, yes… by boredom Bochica really tried to give Mexican Gothic energy, but instead of being creeped out, I just felt… confused and slightly sleepy. There was a haunted mansion, tragic deaths, cryptic journals, and like 47 secrets yet somehow, it still felt like absolutely nothing was happening.......more
