"Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photography, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it's across Massachusetts or across the country. Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing--and terrifying--playground of amusements he calls "Christmasland." Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble--and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx's unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He's on the road again and he's picked up a new passenger: Vic's own son."
"When Charles Talent Manx, an unstoppable monster who transforms children into his own terrifying likeness, kidnaps her son, Victoria McQueen, the only person to ever escape his unmitigated evil, must engage in a life-and-death battle of wills to get her son back."@en

""Victoria McQueen tiene un don especial para encontrar cosas: una pulsera extraviada, una fotografía perdida, las respuestas a preguntas incontestables. Con su bicicleta puede atravesar un mágico puente que, en cuestión de momentos, la lleva adonde necesita ir, ya sea al otro lado de Massachusetts o al otro lado del país. Charles Talent Manx también tiene su propio don: sabe manejar a los niños. Los lleva a dar un paseo en su Rolls-Royce de 1938 con la matrícula NOS4A2 (Nosferatu). Con su viejo coche puede salir sin problemas del mundo cotidiano hacia las carreteras ocultas que los transportarán al asombroso - y terrorífico - paraíso de la diversión que él llama "Christmasland." Y entonces llega el día que Vic sale en busca de problemas-- y encuentra a Manx."--P. [4] of cover."
"Quand Victoria enfourche son vélo et passe sur le vieux pont derrière chez elle, elle en ressort où elle le souhaite. Charles possède également un don particulier. Grâce à sa vieille Rolls Royce, il peut emmener les enfants vers un parc dʹattractions où Noël est fêté tous les jours. Victoria et Charles vont sʹaffronter dans un monde peuplé dʹimages sorties des plus horribles cauchemars.--[Memento]."
"Kinder, wollt ihr ewig leben? Charlie Manx ist ein sehr, sehr böser Mann mit einem sehr, sehr bösen Auto. Er entführt Kinder nach "Christmasland", wo ewige Weihnacht herrschen soll. Die Kinder erwartet dort jedoch etwas Schreckliches, und es gibt keinen Weg zurück. Mit seinem Meisterwerk moderner Fantastik entführt uns der mehrfach preisgekrönte Bestsellerautor Joe Hill auf einen unvergesslichen Horrortrip. Vicky, für ihren Vater einfach nur "das Gör", hat die geheime Gabe, Dinge zu finden - verlorenen Schmuck, verlegte Fotos, Antworten auf unbeantwortbare Fragen. Dazu muss sie sich einfach nur auf ihr Fahrrad schwingen. Über die nahe gelegene alte Holzbrücke gelangt sie dann im Handumdrehen, wohin sie will, an all die meilenweit entfernten Orte, wo sich das Verlorene befindet. Der Kleinen ist klar, dass andere (ihre Eltern!) darüber nur ungläubig den Kopf schütteln würden. Sie glaubt es ja selbst nicht richtig. Auch Charlie Manx hat eine spezielle Gabe.-"
"Joe Hill, the acclaimed, award-winning author of the New York TimesherTime)--crafts his finest work yet. Disturbing, mesmerizing, and full of twisting thrills, Hill's phantasmagoric, devilishly playful masterpiece is a terrifying high-octane ride."@en
