It’s a fabulous, unforgettable conceit and Olde Heuvelt makes the most of it.” —The Guardian Hex starts off really well, the creep factor was so high that reading it at half five in the afternoon felt far too close to bedtime for comfort. For me, it's not so much that it features a witch, but that the witch acts more like a ghost. Who can turn up in your house, at any time. Awful. Just awful. Está narrado en época actual pero teñido de épocas pasadas, con procedimientos de dudosa moralidad que nos transportan irremediablemente al medievo. Mezcla la tecnología con las historias de hace siglos de forma magistral.Olde Heuvelt’s HEX sets ancient magic against contemporary technology to create a kind of dark fairy tale that seems ultimately believable in today’s world. A terrific debut novel.” —Jeffrey Ford While re-writing the work to change the setting from Beek, Berg en Dal to New York, Olde Heuvelt also re-wrote and changed the book's ending from the original Dutch version.

The English language debut of the bestselling Dutch novel, Hex, from Thomas Olde Heuvelt--a Hugo and World Fantasy award nominated talent to watch HEXis reminiscent of vintage Stephen King, and I can think of no higher praise. Chilling, moving and . . . profound.”—John Connolly the secular nature of small-town Dutch communities and the down-to-earthness of its people. If a sane person sees a disfigured seventeenth-century witch appear in a corner of the living room, he runs for his life. If a Dutch person sees a disfigured seventeenth-century witch appear in a corner of the living room, he hangs a dishcloth over her face, sits on the couch, and reads the paper.urn:lcp:hex0000heuv:epub:785eaf5e-6632-4064-b616-6922730458e1 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier hex0000heuv Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2qb3p9d53j Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781444793215

Aún con sus defectos que le pasaron factura es una historia que merece la pena. Es rara como ella sola. Extravagante. Es original, eso desde luego.. The screen door flew open and Tyler came in with a large plastic bag that smelled of Chinese takeout. “Hey, no hanky-panky, okay?” he said. “I’m underage until March fifteenth, and until then my tender soul can’t bear to be corrupted. Least of all within my own gene pool.” No one ever does though, as rightly they anticipate her vengeance would be swift and brutal. Why don't they just move away, you wonder?HEX is creepy and gripping and original, sure to be one of the top horror novels of 2016.”—George R.R. Martin Also, I am wondering if the difficulty I had connecting to the story was more from the fact that it has been translated from the original Dutch, versus the actual story itself. Hex, de hecho, no es su primera novela. Pero sí que es una novela que ha trascendido al resto de su obra. Normalmente no me fío de los textos que ponen en la portada y la faja publicitaria de un libro, porque al final pagan a autores de renombre por que digan esas cosas, pero en esta ocasión creo que le hacen justicia. For the translation, HEX has been transposed from the Netherlands, where the original Dutch version takes place, to the United States. This is something I was originally wary of; I feel it sets a dangerous precedent, and that we should be able to relate to stories from other cultures and settings without needing them realigned with our own. However, given the current political climate in the United States, and the subtext of small town fear of outsiders that runs through HEX, I felt that the change actually worked really well and gave the story timely resonance.
