Descripción
A novel written to the rhythm of rock, with nods to horror classics and a twist that will take you to a place from which you may never be able, or want, to leave.
Damián flees from two murderers who are chasing him on a lonely desert road. He manages to elude them but his car is running out of gas. In the distance he discovers a hotel that looks abandoned from the outside. He knocks on the door and is greeted by Mercedes, a beautiful blonde who invites him in. Inside, the hotel is spectacular: every detail is perfectly cared for, but there is something gloomy hidden among its walls and corridors. Damián thinks he hears voices mentioning his name, although he attributes them to stress and fatigue.
Our anguished protagonist experiences a terrifying experience when he tries to leave the next day and inexplicable things happen that prevent him. Suddenly, Damián will be trapped in this place that changes, that whispers, that makes us doubt if he is living a nightmare or if everything is a product of his hallucinations.
Damián has managed to escape from the bullies. The robbery has been a success, but his Mercedes can no longer run in the desert and with his last effort, he leaves Damián at the Hotel California. The hotel is a charming and extravagant place, which becomes increasingly strange as Damián enters it and meets its peculiar workers and guests. Soon, bullies won't be the only thing he has to escape from.
A story of loss and revenge is trapped in a chilling and mysterious atmosphere. Hotel California is a book in which the legendary song by The Eagles resonates, but which, at the same time, develops its own story, full of unusual, melancholic and action moments, which, like the protagonist of the song, do not allow the reader abandon the book.
Ramón Valdés Elizondo has created an immersive, fast and direct narrative, in which the reader will not have a break between the mystery and the motives of its protagonist. This narrative is complemented by a playlist that Valdés Elizondo himself created, thinking about reading Hotel California, and which is made up of various classics and the occasional surprise.
