Paperback. ELIZABETH CUTTNER: RECUERDA ESE NOMBREEl redescubrimiento de un clasico de terror gotico estadounidense, protagonizado por una adolescente asesina y seductora, que esta conquistando EuropaUn cuento tan maravilloso como siniestro. Leer Elizabeth es como permitir que se te meta el demonio dentro, y que te guste. Como un fantasma que se te mete en los huesos y te persigue hasta mucho despues de leerlo. Que cuento de terror tan especial. -Virginia FeitoA los catorce anos, Elizabeth Cuttner no se hace ilusiones sobre el mundo ni sobre si misma. Su mirada capta con precision los detalles truculentos y las miserias mas intimas de sus allegados, lo que resulta ser una condena inapelable. Tras la muerte de sus padres, a la que tal vez ella no fuera del todo ajena, la familia paterna la acoge en su vieja mansion de Manhattan, rodeada de oscuros muelles, cobertizos abandonados y simbolos que se transfiguran en vestigios goticos reticentes al avance de los rascacielos. Ahi, en una atmosfera impregnada de erotismo, relaciones turbias y una inquietante violencia, esta descendiente de una generacion de brujas se adentra poco a poco en el arte de lo sobrenatural gracias a las apariciones de Frances. Provista de un pequeno pero eficaz arsenal de espejos, gatos, sapos, serpientes y hechizos, un ambiguo encanto y una sabiduria ancestral, Elizabeth utilizara sin piedad sus poderes para avanzar a sangre fria hacia una afirmacion de si misma de la que nada ni nadie podran escapar.Obra inquietante (The New York Times), novela anomala y pionera, Elizabeth nos presenta a una heroina de una escalofriante sensualidad, una Lolita gotica, cerebral y sarcastica, cuya prosa aguda y alucinada, aunque del todo racional, la hace asombrosamente verosimil.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIf you were to go into your bedroom tonight perhaps by candlelight and sit quietly before the large mirror, you might see what I have seen. Sit patiently, looking neither at yourself nor at the glass. You might notice that the image is not yours, but that of an exceptional person who lived at some other time.The image in the mirror of fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Cuttner is that of the fey and long-dead Frances, who introduces Elizabeth to her chilling world of the supernatural. Through Frances, Elizabeth learns what it is to wield power power of a kind that is malevolent and seemingly invincible. Power that begins with the killing of her parents .First published in 1976, Ken Greenhalls debut novel Elizabeth is a lost classic of modern horror fiction that deserves rediscovery.

El redescubrimiento de un clásico de terror gótico estadounidense, protagonizado por una adolescente asesina y seductora, que está conquistando Europa
«Un cuento tan maravilloso como siniestro. Leer Elizabeth es como permitir que se te meta el demonio dentro, y que te guste. Como un fantasma que se te mete en los huesos y te persigue hasta mucho después de leerlo. Qué cuento de terror tan especial». -Virginia Feito
A los catorce años, Elizabeth Cuttner no se hace ilusiones sobre el mundo ni sobre sí misma. Su mirada capta con precisión los detalles truculentos y las miserias más íntimas de sus allegados, lo que resulta ser una condena inapelable.
