Sinopsis

One wrong turn means death...

Danny is struggling through grief after the death of his twin brother. His father has abandoned his family, his mother is checked-out, and his best friend just wants him to move on so they can have a great senior year at Woodside High.

The only person that seems to understand his pain is the fortune-teller at the local carnival, but her words haunt him:

"There is a darkness in you... More people will die...?"

When one of Danny's schoolmates goes missing in the carnival's Hall of Mirrors, Danny begins to suspect that there is something more sinister behind the death of his brother- something evil, that calls out to him, beckons him to enter the Hall of Mirrors.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



A story that could easily be a modern Fear Street or Point Horror book. Similar to Christopher Pike and other YA horror novels of the late 80s and 90s.

Danny is struggling after losing his twin brother Thomas. It is time to go back to school but he is not quite ready. Coping with the death of his brother has been hard and Danny feels a piece of him is missing.

After visiting the town's carnival and speaking with a Fortune Teller, Danny is sure that Thomas wants to send him a message. Does Thomas have any unfinished business? What does he want to tell or warn Danny about?

This was a great horror queer story based in the 80s that will be perfect for any YA reader that loves mystery and a bit of grief in their horror books.

Even though I did know the final twist, there were other things that surprised me and overall I had a great time with this debut novel. I hope the author continues to bring us books this.

It’s clear from the cover alone that this book is an homage to the R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike YA horror novels of the late 80s and 90s, but I was surprised at just how committed to the concept it was. It truly feels it could have come straight from the Fear Street series. The only difference is that it has a queer twist, which is refreshing and unique while remaining appropriately underplayed and natural. I found some elements of the mystery a little bit contrived, but the book was such a fun, easy read that I wasn’t really bothered by that. I hope Ashe continues to write more books with the same conceit - I’d definitely continue to buy them. Pulp_Fiction_Books78
