El secreto de Gaudlin Hall
by John BoyneUna novela inquietante que cautiva al lector hasta la última página. Después de perder a su anciano padre, la joven Eliza Caine no tiene más opción que aceptar un puesto de institutriz en la mansión de Gaudlin Hall, en Norfolk. Pero lo que debería ser un trabajo digno y sencillo se convierte en una experiencia espeluznante. En cuanto se apea del tren, un par de manos invisibles intentan arrojarla a la vía, y cuando finalmente llega al caserón, los únicos que salen a recibirla son dos niños, Isabella y Eustace, que aparentemente viven solos. Eliza no sabe quién la ha contratado, y una serie de extraños sucesos la convencen de que algo muy grave está ocurriendo en la casa. Es como si una presencia maligna, que parece querer proteger a los pequeños, se manifestara continuamente, por lo que Eliza comprende que deberá desvelar los secretos que Gaudlin Hall guarda celosamente. Autor de éxitos mundiales como El niño con el pijama de rayas y La casa del propósito especial, John Boyne ha escrito una novela que homenajea a la novela gótica del siglo XIX, con abundantes guiños a Charles Dickens y Wilkie Collins, el relato gira en torno a Eliza Caine, su valerosa e inteligente heroína, que logra superar el miedo a lo desconocido con una fortaleza de espíritu encomiable. La crítica ha dicho...«Muy entretenida, Boyne mantiene al lector en vilo en todo momento y el ritmo es trepidante.»The Times «Una novela maravillosamente siniestra [...], un magnífico viaje a través del miedo, que muestra no sólo cómo éste se crea sino también cómo puede superarse.»The Guardian «Una lección de narración clásica. Boyne trabaja deliberadamente dentro de la tradición y sin embargo nos sumerge en un relato muy original y entretenido que, como todas las historias de fantasmas, reserva su giro inesperado para el final.»The Sunday Independent «Una aventura que encantará a los fans de Dickens e intrigará a quien se atreva a acompañar a la heroína en su viaje.»The Daily Express «Estupenda, accesible y absolutamente entretenida.»The Irish Times «Escrita con brillantez y contención clásica [...]. Boyne logra crear tensión no a partir de los elementos claramente reconocibles sino gracias a la narradora: una mujer de buen corazón atrapada en un mundo claustrofóbico, una protagonista cuya capacidad de adaptación y fortaleza de ánimo nos resultan enormemente atractivas.»The Telegraph
This House Is Haunted
by John BoyneA striking homage to the classic nineteenth century ghost story, from the award-winning and bestselling writer John Boyne. 1867.

As she makes her way across the station platform, a pair of invisible hands push her from behind into the path of an approaching train. She is only saved by the vigilance of a passing doctor. When she finally arrives, shaken, at the hall she is greeted by the two children in her care, Isabella and Eustace. There are no parents, no adults at all, and no one to represent her mysterious employer. The children offer no explanation. Later that night in her room, a second terrifying experience further reinforces the sense that something is very wrong. From the moment she rises the following morning, her every step seems dogged by a malign presence which lives within Gaudlin's walls. Eliza realises that if she and the children are to survive its violent attentions, she must first uncover the hall's long-buried secrets and confront the demons of its past...
