Emma svému manželovi o své minulosti moc neřekla. Ví, že její rodiče jsou mrtví a se svými sestrami už léta nemluvila. Kvůli špatné životní situaci Emma přizná, že má ještě jeden majetek: dům po rodičích, který vlastní společně se svými odcizenými sestrami. Návrat domů však znamená, že Emma je nucena odhalit manželovi svátajemství: dům není zchátralý statek, ale honosné sídlo, a že v něm zemřeli její rodiče. Byli zavražděni. A někteří lidé tvrdí, že to udělala Emma. Emma a její sestry nikdy nemluvily o tom, co se té noci skutečně stalo. Její návrat do domu teď možná přiláká sestry zpět, ale také otevře rodinná tajemství, která nikdo nechce odhalit. Zatímco se Emma snaží znovu navázat kontakt se svou starou rodinou a udržet pohromadě tu novou, začíná si uvědomovat, že věci, které celé ty roky nechávali nevyslovené, je znovu ohrožují.

Každý krok v závěji se mění v ozvěnu strachu a stopy kolem její chaty dokazují, že v noci není nikdy sama. Pod zasněženou fasádou luxusu číhá příšera. A až krev znovu zbarví sníh, bude už pozdě na útěk. Mrazivý thriller, v němž sníh dusí, chlad proniká až do kostí a každá stopa může znamenat smrt.

Set in a haunting and mysterious atmosphere, this sequel delves deeper into a world filled with twists and eerie elements, appealing to fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline and the nostalgic thrills of Stranger Things. It promises to engage readers with its chilling narrative and complex characters, exploring themes of fear and adventure as the story unfolds in unexpected ways.

A dark and twisted story about a sleepy town with a dark secret--and the three kids brave enough to uncover it. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things. Every thirteen years in the town of Eden Eld, three thirteen-year-olds disappear. Eleanor has just moved to the quiet, prosperous Eden Eld. When she awakes to discover an ancient grandfather clock that she's never seen before outside her new room, she's sure her eyes must be playing tricks on her. But then she spots a large bird, staring at her as she boards the school bus. And a black dog with glowing red eyes follows her around town. All she wants is to be normal, and these are far from normal. And worse--no one else can see them. Except for her new friends, Pip and Otto, who teach her a thing or two about surviving in Eden Eld. First: Don't let the "wrong things" know you can see them. Second: Don't speak of the wrong things to anyone else. The only other clue they have about these supernatural disturbances is a book of fairytales unlike any they've read before. It tells tales of the mysterious Mr. January, who struck a cursed deal with the town's founders. Every thirteenth Halloween, he will take three of their children, who are never heard from again. It's up to our trio to break the curse--because Eden Eld's thirteen years are up. And Eleanor, Pip, and Otto are marked as his next sacrifice.

This book offers a series of conceptually provocative readings that illuminate a hidden relationship between architectural space and modern American fiction. By looking at fictional descriptions of some of modernity's least remarkable structures, such as plumbing, ductwork, and airshafts, the author discovers a network of connections between corridors and novels, one that also sheds new light on the nature of modern media. The corridor is the dominant organizational structure in modern architecture, yet its various functions are taken for granted, and it tends to disappear from view. But even the most banal structures become strangely visible in the noisy communication systems of American fiction.
