Description
"No se mudaron a una casa embrujada construyeron una. Helen y Nate abandonaron la ciudad con la esperanza de comenzar de nuevo en una apartada localidad de Vermont, su idea es formar un hogar en el bosque donde puedan alejarse del bullicio y el ajetreo citadino. En medio de aquel paisaje imponente las cosas parecen marchar bien hasta que descubren que ese hermoso lugar guarda un secreto perturbador y Helen, antigua profesora de historia, se obsesiona con la leyenda de Hattie Breckenridge, una mujer acusada de brujería que un siglo antes vivió y murió en ese sitio. Conforme la construcción avanza, Helen comienza a coleccionar antiguos objetos y materiales que incorpora a la casa. La viga de una vieja escuela, los ladrillos de un molino o los restos de una chimenea son algunas de las piezas que la sumergirán cada día más profundamente en la terrible historia de Hattie y sus descendientes: tres generaciones de mujeres que murieron en circunstancias sospechosas. Así, lo que fue un sueño para la joven pareja se volverá su peor pesadilla, pues, sin saberlo, al terminar de construir la casa despertarán en el pueblo una amenaza inimaginable. Jennifer McMahon, la autora bestseller del New York Times, nos presenta una terrorífica historia de fantasmas sobre un bosque ancestral, un linaje de mujeres condenadas y una localidad que esconde crímenes terribles."--Amazon.com.
Description
"They didn't move into a haunted house, they built one. Helen and Nate left town hoping to start over in a secluded Vermont town, their idea is to make a home in the woods where they can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the midst of that imposing landscape, things seem to be going well until they discover that this beautiful place keeps a disturbing secret and Helen, a former history teacher, becomes obsessed with the legend of Hattie Breckenridge, a woman accused of witchcraft who lived a century before and He died on that site. As the construction progresses, Helen begins to collect old objects and materials that she incorporates into the house. The beam of an old school, the bricks of a mill or the remains of a chimney are some of the pieces that will immerse her each day deeper into the terrible story of Hattie and her descendants: three generations of women who died under suspicious circumstances. A dream for the young couple will become their worst nightmare, because, without knowing it, when they finish building the house they will awaken an unimaginable threat in the town. New York Times bestselling author Jennifer McMahon brings us a terrifying ghost story about an ancient forest, a line of doomed women, and a town that hides terrible crimes."--Amazon.com.
