The apocalypse will be televised! A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy. They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

''Ciò di cui meno riuscivo a liberarmi era l'idea crudele che, qualunque cosa io avessi visto, Miles e Flora vedevano di più... cose terribilie inimmaginabili che sorgevano dai tremendi spazi che avevano condiviso in passato.'' Flora e Miles sono due bambini orfani affidati alle cure di una giovane governante da uno zio che mette a disposizione una sontuosa dimora ma non vuole essere per nessun motivo coinvolto nelle loro esistenze. All'inizio il clima è idilliaco, ma pian piano emergono i fantasmi di servitori passati che sembrano possedere i bambini. La governante ingaggia una lotta disperata contro le presenze maligne mentre si fa strada nel lettore il dubbio che sia solo lei ad avvertirle. In questo romanzo breve del 1898 Henry James coniuga la tradizione del romanzo gotico con un'indagine psicologica finissima.
