Esta semana estuve leyendo una
historia de horror que me llamó bastante la atención. La sola sinopsis nos
habla de que la familia Easton, quienes
se acaban de mudar a una casa inusual por su estructura errática, empieza a
experimentar cambios de ánimo bruscos, pero la cosa no acaba aquí.
Alice Easton, la pequeña de diez
años, parece tener una idea de qué es lo que pasa, y está segura de que no es
algo de este mundo. Armada con el diario
de Mary, la chica que murió años atrás en esa misma casa, Alice intenta evitar
que los miembros de su familia sigan desapareciendo.
Interesante, ¿no les parece? One by One, de D.W. Gillespie es una historia con un
inicio ligeramente lento, pero con escenas que hacen de la lectura más
interesante. El estilo del autor está lleno de descripciones que me transportaron a la casa Easton más de una vez.
Aunque los personajes no me parecieron del todo creíbles en algunos
momentos (hay dos escenas en concreto con las que tengo serios problemas; nadie
en su sano juicio actuaría así, pero prefiero no dar detalles para evitar
spoilers), Alice y Debra se convirtieron
en mis favoritas, junto con Mary. *guiño guiño*
D.W. Gillespie crea una atmósfera escalofriante y desdibuja la línea entre lo paranormal y lo
policial. Me llevé una gran sorpresa al final de One by One, un
giro de trama que no veía venir, y que me encantó. Pocas veces el autor te toma
desprevenido, y Gillespie lo hizo con éxito. Aunque terminé con un sabor extraño
por el desarrollo, definitivamente leeré otro libro del autor en el futuro.
Happy Friday, Nighters! I hope you are having a good time and already have plans for the weekend.
This week I was reading a horror story that caught my attention. The sole synopsis tells us that the Easton family, who have just moved to an unusual house because of its erratic structure, begins to experience sudden mood swings, but it doesn't end here.
Alice Easton, the ten-year-old girl, seems to have an idea of what's happening, and she's sure that it isn't something from this world. Armed with Mary's diary, the girl who died years ago in that same house, Alice tries to keep her family members from disappearing.
Interesting, don't you think? One by One, by D. W. Gillespie is a story with a slightly slow start, but with scenes that make reading more interesting. The author's style is full of descriptions that transported me to the Easton house more than once.
Although the characters didn't seem entirely credible at some times (there are two specific scenes which I have serious problems with; nobody in their right mind would act like this, but I prefer not to give details to avoid spoilers), Alice and Debra became my favorites, along with Mary. *wink, wink*
D.W. Gillespie creates a chilling atmosphere and blurs the line between the paranormal and the mysterious. I had a big surprise at the end of One by One, a plot twist that I didn't see coming, and that I loved. Rarely does the author take you off guard, and Gillespie did it successfully. Although I ended up with a strange taste due to the development, I will definitely read another book by the author in the future.
