Rezensionen
"Mesmerizing...Absorbing, old-fashioned storytelling from an indisputable master of the form, atmospheric settings and characters who exist in the margins between reality and imagination...tapping into a sense of ethereal mystery and otherworldliness." - BookPage

"Evocative...Absorbing...These eleven tales continue in the gothic vein of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books." - Times Literary Supplement (London)

"Ruiz Zafón, the best-selling Spanish author since Cervantes and a conjurer of wonder and mystery...brings to life his hometown Barcelona, that magical and mysterious city, in a collection that is both familiarly satisfying and poignant, revisiting many of his signature themes such as desperate youthful love and its consequences, as well as class prejudice." - Washington Post

"Carlos Ruiz Zafón was a brilliant writer...This book shows us just how talented he was...There is much to savor in The City of Mist, and I am thankful that Ruiz Zafón provides us a literary beacon through the mist that has been the past two years." - Book Reporter

"Imaginative and beguiling storytelling...These stories summon up the mesmerizing magic of their brilliant creator." - Book Riot
