NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK “This book has everything you could possibly want this fall...a cursed town, a haunted house, a vivid & eerie setting—plus, characters willing to risk everything.” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club October ’23 Pick) “The...

In einem weitläufigen Herrenhaus voller sonderbarer Schätze ist January selbst eine Kuriosität. Als Mündel des reichen Mr. Locke fühlt sie sich kaum anders als die Artefakte, die die Hallen schmücken: sorgfältig gepflegt, weitgehend ignoriert und völlig fehl am Platz. Dann findet sie ein seltsames Buch. Ein Buch, das den Duft anderer Welten verströmt und von Geheimtüren, von Liebe, Abenteuern und Gefahr erzählt. Jedes Umblättern enthüllt weitere unglaubliche Wahrheiten. Und langsam wird January bewusst, dass sie selbst mehr und mehr mit der Geschichte verkettet wird.

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored and utterly out of place. But her quiet existence is shattered when she stumbles across a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page reveals more impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.

Hundreds of years after the end of the world, the Appalachian community of Iron Hollow finds itself beset by demons. Such horrors are common these days in the outlands, where most folks die young—if they don’t turn into monsters first. When a legendary knight is summoned to hunt down the latest unearthly beast to haunt their woods, the town’s new oral historian, Shrike, has more reason than most to be concerned. Because that demon was her wife. And while Shrike is certain that May still recognizes her—that May is still herself, somewhere beneath it all—she can’t prove it.

Some truths are carefully concealed; others merely forgotten. In this spellbinding collection, seven acclaimed fantasy authors create characters who venture into the depths where others fear to tread.

Rimasta orfana, Opal ha lasciato la scuola e ora lavora come commessa part time, sperando di guadagnare abbastanza per garantire al fratello Jasper una vita migliore. Una vita lontano da Eden, nel Kentucky, un luogo celebre solo per due cose: la sua sfortuna e la scrittrice E. Starling, autrice del romanzo Il Sottomondo, misteriosamente scomparsa cent'anni prima lasciando dietro di sé solo chiacchiere e un'antica dimora nascosta tra gli alberi. Tutti concordano su un fatto: meglio ignorare quella casa e il suo bizzarro, misantropo proprietario, Arthur Starling. Quasi tutti, a dire il vero.

In Harrow's eerie tale of madness and heartache, Patience, diagnosed with a "nervous disposition," is forced to take up residence in the rural, dilapidated Gravely House, in hopes that she will "calm down and get better" before her senior year begins. But when she discovers a girl living inside her bedroom mirror, the past comes back to haunt, in more ways than one.

Estate 1901. January si sente come tutti gli oggetti che popolano l'antica dimora nel Vermont in cui vive: ignorata e fuori posto. Almeno fino a quando non trova uno strano libriccino dall'aroma di cannella e carbone, catacombe e terra argillosa. E che porta il conforto di storie meravigliose. Pagina dopo pagina, January si accorge che la vicenda narrata sembra essere indissolubilmente legata a lei.

En el pasado sí que las había, en esa época oscura e inhóspita antes de que empezasen a encenderse las hogueras. Ahora, la brujería es poco más que hechizos de amas de casa y canciones infantiles. Si la mujer moderna quiere algo de poder, las urnas son el único lugar donde puede llegar a conseguirlo.
