One day, Anibal and Ursula decide to explore an abandoned mansion. Their curiosity takes them to a hideous place where doctor Gregorio Birlar experiments his awful methods on several people who are kept as prisoners. There, they suffer severe tortures and torments. The young couple has to face fear and evil as the result of a terrible experience.
The book can be read as a story of horror, but its significance goes beyond. In fact, it deals also with inner perspectives, but most of all, with eternal questions such as the struggle between good and evil, as well as the redeeming power of love.
Mauricio Paredes, born in 1972, is well known for his texts plenty of humorous situations. As a bestsellling author of children’s literature, he is constantly invited to visit schools, libraries and book fairs. This time, he surprises in many ways with the publication of a quite different type of story intended for teens of 14 or more.
