"[Zafón's] visionary storytelling prowess is a genre unto itself."-- USA Today "[A] rip-roaring Gothic mystery. . . . Will keep you glued to your deck chair."-- Seattle Times "A wickedly clever tale."-- Miami Herald "Ruiz Zafón's narrative twists and soars, part dream and part slippery reality brought to live in vivid detail…. A book for story lovers: expansive, rich and slow to digest." -Denver Post "Zafón can write up a storm. . . . A dream from which it would be imprudent to awake."-- The Washington Post "Absorbing.... Offers not only plenty of plot intricacies and mystery but also a lyrical style of writing.... A literary centaur in which a meditation on the craft of writing is combined with a thriller." - Los Angeles Times "A love letter to all things literary, and a paean to the power of the written word. . . . Zafón is a storyteller with vast gifts."-- The Onion "A thriller laden with Gothic elements. . . . A pleasure to read."- The Christian Science Monitor "Zafón, a master of mood and emotional manipulation, guides us through Barcelona's backstreets. . . .

Exquisite."-- Bookreporter "Endearing and addictive."-- Financial Times, Fans of Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind and new readers alike will be delighted with this gothic semi-prequel. In 1920s Barcelona, David Martin is born into poverty, but, aided by patron and friend Pedro Vidal, he rises to become a crime reporter and then a beloved pulp novelist. David's creative pace is frenetic; holed up in his dream house--a decrepit mansion with a sinister history--he produces two great novels, one for Vidal to claim as his own, and one for himself. But Vidal's book is celebrated while David's is buried, and when Vidal marries David's great love, David accepts a commission to write a story that leads him into danger. As he explores the past and his mysterious publisher, David becomes a suspect in a string of murders, and his race to uncover the truth is a delicious puzzle: is he beset by demons or a demon himself? Zafon's novel is detailed and vivid, and David's narration is charming and funny, but suspect. Villain or victim, he is the hero of and the guide to this dark labyrinth that, by masterful design, remains thrilling and bewildering.(June)-- Publishers Weekly, starred Review Praise for The Shadow of the Wind "One gorgeous read"--Stephen King "Diabolically good"-Elle magazine "Superbly entertaining"--Washington Post "Breathtaking"--New York Times "Wondrous"--Entertainment Weekly "Magic"-New York Times Book Review "Absolutely marvelous"--Kirkus "Infectious"--The Economist "Outstanding"--Library Journal "Lavish"--Booklist "Gripping"--Philadelphia Inquirer From the Hardcover edition., "[Zafn's] visionary storytelling prowess is a genre unto itself."-- USA Today "[A] rip-roaring Gothic mystery. . . .
