It’s Halloween, and life is grim for 23-year-old Dimitri Petrov. It’s the one-year anniversary of his parents’ deaths, he’s stuck on page one thousand of his Rasputin zombie novel, and he makes his living writing obituaries.

But things turn from bleak to terrifying when Dimitri gets a last-minute assignment to cover a séance at the reputedly haunted Aspinwall Mansion.

There, Dimitri meets Lisa, a punk-rock drummer he falls hard for. But just as he’s about to ask her out, he unwittingly unleashes malevolent forces, throwing him into a deadly mystery. When Dimitri wakes up, he is in the morgue—icy cold and haunted by a cryptic warning given by a tantalizing female spirit.

As town residents begin to turn up gruesomely murdered, Dimitri must play detective in his own story and unravel the connections among his family, the Aspinwall Mansion, the female spirit, and the secrets held in a pair of crumbling antiquarian books. If he doesn’t, it’s quite possible Lisa will be the next victim.

5 (Perfeito)

Muito mistério, suspense e pinceladas de ironia

Achei esse livro por acaso enquanto procurava livros do Edgar Allan Poe. Ainda bem que estava no Kindle Unlimited, baixei na mesma hora. É narrado por um jovem de 23 anos que trabalha escrevendo obituários. Ele acorda num necrotério, faz uma retrospectiva dos eventos que o levaram até lá e continua com sua busca por entender tudo de misterioso e sobrenatural que estava acontecendo. Adorei o livro, fez eu dar boas risadas e também passar por momentos de tensão. Se você curte Poe, Stephen King ou um bom mistério/terror, esse livro vai te agradar.
