The Ghost Tree

De: Christina Henry

Narrado por: Jan Johns

When people go missing in the sleepy town of Smith’s Hollow, the only clue to their fate comes when a teenager starts having terrifying visions, in a chilling horror novel from national bestselling author Christina Henry.

When the bodies of two girls are found torn apart in the town of Smiths Hollow, Lauren is surprised, but she also expects that the police won't find the killer. After all, the year before her father's body was found with his heart missing, and since then everyone has moved on. Even her best friend, Miranda, has become more interested in boys than in spending time at the old ghost tree, the way they used to when they were kids.

So when Lauren has a vision of a monster dragging the remains of the girls through the woods, she knows she can't just do nothing. Not like the rest of her town. But as she draws closer to answers, she realizes that the foundation of her seemingly normal town might be rotten at the center. And that if nobody else stands for the missing, she will.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In the mid-1980s, a terrible curse mixes with the dark hearts of prejudice and misogyny to feed on small suburb of Chicago. This is no nostalgia trip. A true page-turner, The Ghost Tree is sharp, nasty, and unflinching in presenting its supernatural and everyday horrors."—Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World

“Christina Henry’s riff on classic small-town horror is full of dread and dark magic, with themes that resonate heavily in 21st century America. Henry’s storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands

“Henry is able to keep all the strands of her spider’s web woven together in a neat and concise way...The end result is a complex, interesting story with that maintains suspense and intrigue page after page after page.” —Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance

"Henry writes with a keen eye for detail, drawing readers into the disturbing world with pitch-perfect ’80s nostalgia and plenty of eerie atmospherics." — Publishers Weekly

"A vividly visceral visit to small-town horror.”--Booklist

Wow!! Soo Creepy Good

Loved it, stayed up to 2a listening. can't wait to read/listen to another from this author. Narrator was great!

Darkness QL w

I adore all things horror and it’s been a long time since a horror story could make me smile and then delve in deeper to the black. Fun and unique.

Started out fine, but then . . .

I thought I would give this book more stars, but the middle of the story became annoying and it was up and down from there. There was a whole section of the story that didn't need to be there. The narrator was okay, but the male voices became irritating after awhile. The ending was meh. Too "hollywoody."

omg soooo good

this is sooo good I really really hope there's going to be a 2nd one

Good Story

Loved the narration! The beginning felt a bit slow but it got better halfway. It's worth checking out.

Good young Adult people

Not the greatest, but not the worse, good teenager to young Adult fiction. If you are use to say Stephen King then don't bother this isn't for you as I found out fairly quick

Best narrator I’ve heard

It was ok. Not my favorite, but also not the worst. Decent story more of a Halloween vibe than horror.

Like Stranger Things…

…But not as good. And I’m not a huge fan of that show either. Not terrible but it’s 100% YA and don’t let any review convince you otherwise. Fantastic narration tho.

As always Christina Henry is amazing.

Creating a world and a story that sucks you in and never lets go, Christina Henry always writes books that are magical; dark, dangerous and so addicting.

I'm too old

It has the blood and gore, but the horror or feeling of ick Christina Henry gave me from the Alice Chronicles wasn't here. Book was alright.
