The Supernatural Enhancements - Hardcover

Raves for Edgar Cantero's THE SUPERNATURAL ENHANCEMENTS

"A wonderful, enthralling book. "The Supernatural Enhancements "is one of those rare literary creations that shortens the long hours of night. You emerge from its pages at sunrise, suddenly aware that you've spent the whole night reading. Few authors create such books. Edgar Cantero does it gracefully."--Jason Mott, bestselling author of "The Returned".

"Eerie, puckish, and full of surprises...Cantero pays homage to Bram Stoker and H.P. Lovecraft and "The Shining", but he's no less enamored of "The X-Files", fax machines, and punk girls with dreads. The result is a propulsive, beguiling novel that is as easy to get swept up in as it is hard to describe."--Justin Taylor, author of "Flings"

"Southern gothic meets Euro hipness in Catalan novelist Cantero's inventive, enjoyable outing in postmodern mystery writing...Quirky in presentation and good fun throughout, Cantero's yarn pleases at every turn."--"Kirkus"

Two months after the last of the Wells jumped out of his bedroom window (incidentally forgetting to open it first), a strange couple of Europeans arrive at Point Bless, Virginia, to take possession of the mysterious Axton House. A. is the 23-year-old scion no one knew about; Niamh is the mute underage punk girl whom he refers to as his associate or his bodyguard. Both share a Hollywood-distorted view of their new continent and an unbecoming excitement about their new, reportedly haunted home. Through diaries, letters and state-of-the-art digital sources, A. and Niamh will be seen delving into Ambrose Wells' dubious suicide, the secret society he founded and its mysterious Game - a 'bourgeois pastime' of global proportions. All while coping with maddening nightmares, hunting a death-presaging ghost, and taking a minute every now and then to appreciate how cool their new life is. Join them.
