description
7 Las plantas se murieron, la leche se cuajó y mis hijos se volvieron salvajes mientras yo sucumbía a la magia aterradora de La casa del callejón. Es una historia delirantemente imaginativa, espeluznante y -aunque retrata otro mundo- maravillosamente humana sobre una casa embrujada.

Gillian Flynn (autora de Perdida)

En un estrecho callejón, junto a un pub de barrio, en Londres, encontrarás un pequeño portón de hierro negro empotrado en una tapia de ladrillo. No tiene pomo, ni cerradura, ni rendijas junto a los bordes, pero si pones la mano encima la puerta se abrirá. De pronto estarás mirando un jardín en pleno esplendor, iluminado por el sol, y al fondo verás una antigua casa cubierta de hiedra, demasiado imponente para este barrio obrero y extrañamente grande a juzgar por el espacio que ocupa entre dos calles. Sus residentes te darán la bienvenida y te invitarán a entrar. Al principio no querrás irte. Más tarde descubrirás que en realidad no puedes. Qué ocurre allí dentro? La respuesta te espera al final de las escaleras...

A partir de una trama intrincada, David Mitchell construye un escalofriante relato que va mucho más allá del habitual cuento de terror con casa encantadas para arrastrar al lector hacia un final sorprendente, muy al estilo de este imaginativo genio literario.

Reseñas:

Devoré esta novela en una noche. Gran trabajo imaginativo, lleno de velocidad narrativa, es un Drácula para el nuevo milenio, un recordatorio de cuán divertida puede ser la ficción.

Anthony Doerr (autor de La luz que no puedes ver)

La casa del callejón es una de las novelas más placenteras y delirantemente aterradoras que he leído en siglos.

The Guardian

Un placer diabólico. Mitchell tiene algo de hechicero.

The Washington Post

Bien planteada, con suspense y aun así cálidamente humana. Un gran relato de miedo para adultos.

The Huffington Post

Entretenidamente extraña. Recurrimos a Mitchell por sus palacios laberínticos que cosquillean en el cerebro, por la construcción de los personajes y el lenguaje.

Chicago Tribune

Un Stephen King febril. Maniáticamente imaginativo.

The Guardian

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times bestseller by the author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas - Named One of the Best Books of the Year by San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, National Post, BookPage, and Kirkus Reviews

Keep your eyes peeled for a small black iron door.

Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't. Every nine years, the house's residents--an odd brother and sister--extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late. . . .

Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story--as only David Mitchell could imagine it.

Praise for Slade House

"A fiendish delight . . . Mitchell is something of a magician."--The Washington Post

"Entertainingly eerie . . . We turn to [Mitchell] for brain-tickling puzzle palaces, for character studies and for language."

--Chicago Tribune

"A ripping yarn . . . Like Shirley Jackson's Hill House or the Overlook Hotel from Stephen King's The Shining, [Slade House] is a thin sliver of hell designed to entrap the unwary. . . . As the Mitchellverse grows ever more expansive and connected, this short but powerful novel hints at still more marvels to come."

--San Francisco Chronicle

"Like Stephen King in a fever . . . manically ingenious."--The Guardian (U.K.)
