Praise for Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s THE SHADOW OF THE WIND
In addition to glowing praise from the likes of Stephen King (”The story that follows includes murders, false identities, and two supremely satisfying love affairs. Be warned, you have to be a romantic at heart to appreciate this stuff, but if you are, this is one gorgeous read.”), The Washington Post (”I’d like to say more about this superbly entertaining book but don’t dare to hint any more about its plot twists. Suffice it to say that — and here’s yet another critical formula — anyone who enjoys novels that are scary, erotic, touching, tragic and thrilling should rush right out to the nearest bookstore and pick up The Shadow of the Wind. Really, you should.”) Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s masterpiece has now caught the attention of Locus magazine, which has just reviewed our signed limited edition of this modern classic, summing it up thus: “Shadow of the Wind’s greatest triumph may be the way it uses an imagined novelist’s dark fantasy to reveal the truths of Barcelona, both on the brink of prewar chaos and later, under a dictator’s rule. One passage invokes the poisons of fear and hatred, deserted streets, faces behind closed shutters, on nights when one ‘can feel the knives being sharpened behind those walls’–a reminder that the 20th century (like ours) bred terrors as insidious and destructive as anything in Lovecraft’s Mythos.”
