THE EDITORIAL PHENOMENON OF THE YEAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH OVER 250,000 COPIES SOLD THAT ESTABLISH PAUL PEN AS THE THRILLER AUTHOR OF THE MOMENT. "A gift for lovers of tension-filled stories." I am ten years old and I have lived my whole life in this basement. I live in darkness with my parents, my grandmother, my sister, and my brother. Everyone is disfigured by fire. My sister wears a white mask to cover her burns because Dad says her face might scare me. I like my cactus. I like to read my insect book. And spend hours touching the only ray of sun that filters through a crack in the ceiling. But, since my sister had the baby, everyone acts strangely. I think they lie about who the father is, about the cricket man who lurks at night, about what happened before I was born, about why we are locked up here. At least I have the fireflies. They arrived a few days ago in the basement and I have kept them in a jar. As my grandmother says, there is no creature more fascinating than one that can create light by itself. That light encourages me to know the outside world, to escape, to discover what happened. The problem is that all the doors here are closed. And I don't know where I'm going to find a way out... Reviews: "If you haven't read it, I don't know what you're waiting for." "A gift for lovers of tense stories with deep characters." "One of the best thriller authors in the Spanish scene." "Paul Pen has that something that turns an apparently simple story into a disturbing nightmare." "I can't stop reading. Paul Pen is the culprit of my dark circles." "Perfect from beginning to end, unsettling, absorbing. Addictive beyond belief." "Tremendous psychological thriller." "Claustrophobic and rarefied atmosphere. Characters profiled to the millimeter and a shocking ending." "Superb, enigmatic, painful and human." "A book that blows your mind with a twisted, morbid, dark and murky story." "An extraordinary novel. A deep and addictive thriller." "A dark story but with characters that, like fireflies, shine with their own light." "An exemplary and supremely original story." "Hard and painful." "A novel that traps, that leaves you breathless and that is impossible to abandon." |
