“HEX is creepy and gripping and original, sure to be one of the top horror novels of 2016.” —George R.R. Martin

The English language debut of the bestselling Dutch novel, Hex, from Thomas Olde Heuvelt--a Hugo and World Fantasy award nominated talent to watch

Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay 'til death. Whoever settles, never leaves.

Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's bed for nights on end. Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.

The elders of Black Spring have virtually quarantined the town by using high-tech surveillance to prevent their curse from spreading. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break their strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into dark, medieval practices of the distant past.

This chilling audiobook heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in mainstream horror and dark fantasy.

Sin duda uno de los mejores libros que leí en lo que va del año. Es difícil encontrarse con novelas de terror sobre brujas que estén tan bien ambientados, tan perfectamente desarrollados. Hex me hechizó, y sin duda queda como una de mis lecturas favoritas sobre el tema.......more

Goodreads review by Gabriel on February 02, 2022

Brutalidad, fanatismo, supersticiones, ambientación sobrenatural con una atmósfera oscura y decadente. Eso y más en Hex. Black Spring es un lugar embrujado, podrido y condenado. Por si fuera poco, una bruja recorre las calles con los ojos y la boca cocida. Lo han intentado todo para acabar con su pr......more
