<p><strong>?Ruiz Zafón's visionary storytelling prowess is a genre unto itself.??<em>USA Today</em></strong></p><p><strong>Return to the mythical Barcelona library known as the Cemetery of Forgotten Books in this posthumous collection of stories from the <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>The Shadow of the Wind </em>and <em>The Labyrinth of the Spirits.</em></strong></p><p>Bestselling author Carlos Ruiz Zafón conceived of this collection of stories as an appreciation to the countless readers who joined him on the extraordinary journey that began with <em>The Shadow of the Wind</em>. Comprising eleven stories, most of them never before published in English, <em>The City of Mist</em> offers the reader compelling characters, unique situations, and a gothic atmosphere reminiscent of his beloved Cemetery of Forgotten Books quartet.</p><p>The stories are mysterious, imbued with a sense of menace, and told with the warmth, wit, and humor of Zafón's inimitable voice. A boy decides to become a writer when he discovers that his creative gifts capture the attentions of an aloof young beauty who has stolen his heart. A labyrinth maker flees Constantinople to a plague-ridden Barcelona, with plans for building a library impervious to the destruction of time. A strange gentleman tempts Cervantes to write a book like no other, each page of which could prolong the life of the woman he loves. And a brilliant Catalan architect named Antoni Gaudí reluctantly agrees to cross the ocean to New York, a voyage that will determine the fate of an unfinished masterpiece.</p><p>Imaginative and beguiling, these and other stories in <em>The City of Mist </em>summon up the mesmerizing magic of their brilliant creator and invite us to come dream along with him.</p>
