EL FENÓMENO DE MISTERIO QUE ARRASA EN JAPÓN Y EN TODO EL MUNDO, ADMIRADO POR SAVIANO Y TRADUCIDO A MÁS DE TREINTA IDIOMAS Si las paredes hablasen, temblarías MILLONES DE LECTORES HAN DESCUBIERTO LA HORRIBLE VERDAD QUE HABITA EN ESTAS CASAS EXTRAÑAS. AHORA ES TU TURNO Una siniestra habitación oculta. El espacio hueco entre dos tabiques. Una trampilla que no se sabe adónde da... Todas las casas esconden secretos, pero algunos son mucho más oscuros que otros. El análisis meticuloso del plano de una vivienda conduce, en los primeros compases de esta novela, a una conclusión inquietante: ¿alguien la ha diseñado para que en ella se cometan crímenes impunemente? Y, si es así, ¿podría haber otras casas tan extrañas como esa repartidas por todo Japón? Uketsu es una enigmática figura surgida de las profundidades de internet que se ha convertido de la noche a la mañana en uno de los nombres más relevantes del panorama literario japonés. Strange Houses fue su primer éxito viral y luego editorial. Con sus historias, ha transformado para siempre las reglas de los géneros de terror y de misterio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Deliciously unsettling and refreshingly unique, Strange Houses will lure you in and keep you captive with every clever twist." --Kristen Perrin, New York Times bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder From the bestselling author of the wildly inventive Strange Pictures and a phenomenon in Japan--unnatural layouts, trap doors, windowless rooms-- a sinister conspiracy is concealed within a house's warped and unsettling floor plans When a writer fascinated by the macabre is approached by an acquaintance, he finds himself investigating an eerie house for sale in Tokyo. At first, with its bright and spacious interior, it seems the perfect first home. But upon closer inspection, the building's floor plans reveal a mysterious "dead space" hidden between its walls. Seeking a second opinion, the writer shares the floor plans with his friend Kurihara, an architect, only to discover more unnerving details throughout. What is the true purpose behind the house's disturbing design? And what happened to the former owners who disappeared without a trace? When a body suddenly appears and a young woman reaches out about a second house, it soon becomes clear that the writer and his friend may be in over their heads. Structured around a series of chilling floorplans, with Strange Houses, mystery-horror YouTube sensation Uketsu casts readers in the role of detective, inviting them to help map out the truth hidden within these puzzling floor plans . . . and the terrifying plot behind it all.Shipping Notes

An in depth American perspective on the Depression to World War

In depth, scholarly book from an American perspective of World War II. The discussion of the home perspective on the war was enlightening. An excellent read. Comprehensive look at the American political world from depression to World War.

Format: Kindle
Trying to distill WWll down to a little over 400 pages is a Herculean task but Mr. Kennedy does a serviceable job. He provides thumbnail sketches of the major players' personalities and tics. He does an admirable job of jumping back and forth between the European and Pacific theaters of operation, always keeping in mind America's POV in explaining how FDR and his staff dealt with their fractious, troublesome allies. He explains how the Rosie the riveter myth is pretty much a fabrication and how America's approach to manufacturing was able to out produce the German mode of war production: America going for Quantity vs. the German fixation with Quality. Lots interesting information and facts. There are areas where I thought he could have used more depth such as the death of FDR (probably no more than two pages.if that); Mussolini and Hitler's last hours are given mere paragraphs; Churchill being voted out of office just months shy of victory in Europe is given maybe two paragraphs and while he mentions how Tibetts went to the airplane factory to pick the future Enola Gay off the assembly line he gives short shrift the immensely expensive and technically complex challenge of building the A-bomb. Nor does Mr. Kennedy mention that when HST hinted to Stalin that America had an powerful new weapon Stalin was all ready aware of the activities going on at Trinity and of the Manhattan Project. Mr. Kennedy doesn't offer any new information or insights but this is a good, one-book overview, of the war.

Thorough But Easily Read Historical Account
Format: Paperback
I bought this book thinking it would be an account of civilian life in the U.S. during WWII. But I was surprised to see that it focused almost exclusively on the military campaigns and the decisions behind them. There was sporadic mention of life on the homefront, but mostly the book is a book about the war. Which is not a criticism. Kennedy deftly and thoroughly takes us through the war, outlines for us the challenges and opportunities and how the leaders of the affected nations developed their strategies. In addtion to the fine details of history, Kennedy writes in such a fashion that this book will probably appeal to the scholar and the layman with equal strength. As someone long in the tooth, I knew most of the history of WWII, but if you are younger and want a comprehensive, well-written history an epic period in world history, you could do a lot worse than read this compelling book.
