Publisher Description

Arlenui Viagneriui, Pirmojo pasaulinio karo veteranui, teko regėti dūmus žmonių akyse ir anksčiau. Tai būdavo neišvengiamos mirties ženklas. Jis niekada neklysdavo. Kai vieną troškų vakarą nubudęs traukinyje pamato mirties ženklus bendrakeleivių akyse, beviltiškai bando šiuos atkalbėti tęsti kelionę į Floridos Ki salas. Tik devyniolikametis Polas Brikhilas patiki vaikinu ir abu lieka naktį nuošalioje stotyje, tikėdamiesi išsisukti nuo neišvengiamos mirties. Bičiuliai patraukia į pietus pėsti ir netrukus pasijunta įkalinti „Kiparisų namuose“ – atokioje Meksikos įlankos užeigoje, kuri priklauso mįslingai gražuolei Rebekai, – tiesiog artėjančio uragano kelyje.
Vis dėlto tas 1935 m. pragaištingas uraganas – ne vienintelis gresiantis pavojus. Meksikos įlankos gyventojus valdo kur kas šiurpesnė jėga, todėl šilto ir šalto matęs Arlenas nori kuo greičiau iš ten nešdintis. Polas atsisako palikti Rebeką vieną, net ir išgirdęs draugo perspėjimą, jog užgaišę gali niekada iš ten neištrūkti. Nuo šiurpios pradžios iki stingdančios pabaigos Kiparisų namai yra neprilygstamas „geriausias iš geriausių“ detektyvas su labai įtikinamu fantastikos prieskoniu, sulaukęs liaupsių iš rašytojų Stepheno Kingo, Peterio Straubo, Deano Koontzo ir Rono Rasho.

“I wouldn't call it horror. More like Paranormal-ish. Paranormal should be good. But I didn't notice horror. Maybe it's just me. The book is well written. At some chapters, especially at the very end it seemed that author was intentionally trying to prolong the ending. That was totally unnecessary. I really disliked it. Also, author has no idea about woman's body anatomy. "Curvy without a drop of fat." Rebeca was described this way. Well, news flash - you cannot have curves if you don't have body fat! Body fat in all the right places makes the body look curvy. And the setting is in 1935! Working out didn't exist back then. At least not for women. And even though author would like to believe that he wrote about romance... Well... I don't call "sleeping together every night" a romance. Anyway, good book. Even after finishing it I don't understand why it has Horror tag thou. To me it was a very good paranormal thriller.”
