Hex

Product Information

But then reality starts to set in while you are reading this book. These characters are bat-shit crazy. They are mean as snakes. You have one father that is a main character who pretty much admits he has a favorite son...and it's not the gay one. You have women constantly put down..one was made fun of the whole entire book because she was fat. Another had an abnormally high forehead that the author couldn't s But the dude characters are just as boring and one-dimensional as the nasty fat pâté lady. I did not care about anyone in this book. For a novel that's supposedly about a town, I had virtually no sense of anyone in the community. They were all cardboard cutouts with vaguely silly names. Like a silly haunted tram ride at Universal Studios. Brutalidad, fanatismo, supersticiones, ambientación sobrenatural con una atmósfera oscura y decadente. Eso y más en Hex.

extry points given to me, by me, for choosing a book that has been in my house for more than a year. edit 03/02/16) I'm having to up my stars on this one as every time I pass a dark corner, I think of that bloody witch. It obviously got to me more than I thought... Picturesque as can be, an outsider would have a hard time imagining the horror the town's citizens endure on a daily basis. Todo un acierto elegir éste libro como lectura conjunta de Halloween con mi alma gemela en éste maravilloso universo de libros 📚📚📚 Y las dos hemos dado de pleno ❤

Al principio cuesta un poco entrar en la historia porque el primer capítulo y la escena que se nos detalla es muy WTF!!??😂😂 Pero cuando se empiezan a explicar hechos y situar en el contexto, es una auténtica maravilla 😍 Thomas Olde Heuvelt (1983) is the international bestselling author of HEX. The much-praised novel was published in over twenty-five countries around the world and is currently in development for TV by Gary Dauberman. Olde Heuvelt, whose last name in Dutch dialect means “Old Hill,” was the first ever translated author to win a Hugo Award for his short story "The Day the World Turned Upside Down". Obviously I can't comment on that decision because I haven't read the original Dutch version of Hex. I didn't particularly feel that the US setting added anything to the story, and that might of course be because I'm Canadian, but I don't think so. As I said above, what makes the book scary is the interaction between the supernatural and human nature, and that would be the same regardless of the setting. Tengo dos curiosidades que contarte sobre este autor. La primera es que, siendo holandés, habla y escribe en inglés casi como si fuera su lengua materna. Trabajé en Holanda muchos años y no es exagerado afirmarlo de casi toda la población. Por eso, en sus ediciones inglesas tuvo la oportunidad de modificar y corregir la traducción de su propio texto. In 2016, Olde Heuvelt's worldwide debut novel HEX was published in the US by Tor Books and in the UK and Australia by Hodder and Stoughton. Horror novelist Stephen King tweeted about the book, calling it "totally, brilliantly original". [7] The publication was followed by a six-week book tour through the US. [ citation needed]

The screen door flew open and Tyler came in with a large plastic bag that smelled of Chinese takeout. “Hey, no hanky-panky, okay?” he said. “I’m underage until March fifteenth, and until then my tender soul can’t bear to be corrupted. Least of all within my own gene pool.” A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.It's set in a small town that kind of reminded me of that movie..The Village. Once you live there you can't leave. (that movie didn't scared nothing by the way) La tecnología es algo muy importante en este libro. Un pueblo grabado en todo momento. Para mi demasiada tecnología. Usa muchísimo esas cosas. Miedo, superstición, fanatismo, un paseo por el lado oscuro y retorcido de las personas. Son muy cabrones algunos. La bruja va aparte. You’re pathetic,” she said, kissing him on the mouth. “I ought to warn you that we have a voyeur, Mr. Eager Beaver.”
