Paul Tremblay

En la década de 1980, Art Barbara no era lo que se dice popular. Era un estudiante solitario que escuchaba hair metal, tenía que dormir con un monstruoso aparato ortopédico por su escoliosis y había iniciado un club extraescolar de voluntarios en funerales poco concurridos. Por eso fue una sorpresa cuando una chica se apunto al Club de los Portaferetros y le dijo que era una idea genial. ¡Si hasta se llevo su Polaroid para hacer fotos de los cadaveres! Vale, esa parte si habia sido un poco rara. Como tambien lo era su obsesivo interes por una famosa tradicion de Nueva Inglaterra que implicaba desenterrar a los muertos. Y habia otras cosas extrañas que sucedian siempre que ella estaba cerca, algunas bastante inquietantes... Pero eran amigos, asi que no pasaba nada, ¿verdad? Decadas mas tarde, Art intenta darle sentido a sus recuerdos escribiendo El Club de los Portaferetros. Sin embargo, lo que parecia la forma ideal de reconciliarse con su pasado tendra consecuencias insospechadas cuando su vieja amiga lea el manuscrito. Difuminando a la perfeccion las lineas entre la ficcion y los recuerdos, lo sobrenatural y lo mundano, la nueva novela del autor de Una cabeza llena de fantasmas y La cabaña del fin del mundo pinta el escalofriante retrato de una amistad tan inolvidable como perturbadora.

Cuando la pequeña Wen y sus padres se van de vacaciones a una cabaña junto a un lago recóndito, no esperan recibir visitas. Por eso resulta tan sorprendente la aparición del primer desconocido. Leonard es el hombre mas corpulento que Wen ha visto jamas, pero tambien es tan amable que se gana su simpatia enseguida, por mucho que a la niña siempre le hayan prohibido hablar con extraños. Leonard y Wen hablan y rien y juegan, y el tiempo pasa volando. Hasta que el dice unas misteriosas palabras: Nada de lo que va a pasar es culpa tuya. Tu no has hecho nada malo, pero los tres vais a tener que tomar unas cuantas decisiones dificiles. Espantosas, me temo. Tus padres no querran dejarnos entrar, Wen. Pero tendran que hacerlo. La cabaña del fin del mundo es la nueva novela del autor de Una cabeza llena de fantasmas, una historia cargada de tension y con un ritmo frenetico sobre la supervivencia y, quizas, el fin del mundo. La productora FilmNation ha comprado sus derechos cinematograficos.
