In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really dancing with?

When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...

These are the stories that haunt us

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten.

Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.

Temný fantasy příběh vzdáleně odkazuje na pohádku bratří Grimmů Roztrhané střevíce. Annaleigh žije se svými sestrami, otcem a nevlastní matkou na panství Highmoor. Dřív bylo sester dvanáct, čtyři z nich však potkal tragický osud. V okolních vesnicích se vypráví, že rodina je prokletá a smrt mladých dívek mají na svědomí znepřátelení bohové. K tomu všemu její zbylé sestry každou noc navštěvují tajemný bál, kde tančí až do úsvitu a Annaleigh si není jistá, zda by je měla zastavit, nebo se k nim naopak přidat. Protože s kým to její sestry vlastně tančí? Nezbývá než přijít na to, co panství Highmoore skrývá, a odvrátit blížící se hrozbu, než dostihne i Annaleigh. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Ellerie Downing vive nella tranquilla cittadina di Amity Falls nella catena montuosa del Pugno di Dio – cinque picchi che si innalzano verso il cielo come fossero dita di una mano – delimitata da una foresta quasi impenetrabile di pini alti e stretti. I Downing sono apicoltori da sempre e il miele prodotto dai loro alveari è amato e apprezzato in tutta Amity Falls. Tuttavia, un tempo la vita non era così serena: i primi cittadini hanno dovuto affrontare il Male nei boschi adiacenti ma oggi, per fortuna, le occasioni di scontro sono molto rare. Quando però un carico di rifornimenti scompare, alcuni temono che i mostri che per lungo tempo hanno terrorizzato la regione siano tornati. Mentre l’autunno si trasforma in inverno, movimenti sempre più spaventosi affliggono la città e portano a una tribù di creature diaboliche e mistiche, gli Osservatori Oscuri. Gli Osservatori promettono di soddisfare i desideri più profondi degli abitanti, per quanto smisurati e irrealizzabili, e solo in cambio di un piccolo favore. Ma le loro vere intenzioni sono molto più sinistre. Gli Osservatori Oscuri vagano per il Paese, riducendo in rovina tutto ciò che incontrano. Per salvare il villaggio, Ellerie dovrà scoprire il vero nome del leader degli Osservatori Oscuri, la misteriosa donna vestita di bianco. Si ritroverà così in una corsa contro il tempo prima che tutta Amity Falls, la sua famiglia e il ragazzo che ama vadano in fiamme.

Au manoir de Highmoor, isolé au milieu d'un vaste océan, le Duc Thaumas, a déjà perdu quatre de ses filles dans de dramatiques circonstances : noyade, chute, maladie... L'une d'elles, Annaleigh, refuse de croire à la folle rumeur selon laquelle elles seraient toutes maudites. En se rendant sur le lieu du tragique accident de sa sœur Eulalie, Annaleigh découvre un passage caché dans la falaise. Une porte mystérieuse ouvre sur un royaume qui fait oublier tous leurs soucis aux jeunes duchesses. Noyées dans la joie et les fêtes, elles dansent chaque soir jusqu’à l’aube, épuisées, enivrées, envoutées... Seule Annaleigh réussit à s'arracher à ces bals hypnotiques, déterminée à comprendre la puissante malédiction de Highmoor, au risque comme ses sœurs d'y perdre la vie...
