Sinossi
la notte di Ognissanti e Zamiel, il Demone Cacciatore, sta arrivando a reclamare la sua vittima. Si dirige verso il Castello Karlstein, dove il malvagio conte ha un piano astuto e crudele: intende sacrificare le sue giovani nipoti per salvarsi la vita. Riusciranno Lucy e Charlotte a sfuggire al diabolico zio e al suo viscido scagnozzo Herr Snivelwuerst? La domestica Hildi, il sergente Snitsch e il dottor Cadaverezzi saranno in grado di aiutarle all'ultimo minuto, o le abbandoneranno alla loro triste sorte? Una cosa sola è certa: il Demone Cacciatore non tornerà nella sua buia foresta senza una vittima.

Recensioni
This is a spooky-fun romp; Young Frankenstein for tweens!!!! It is a perfect mixture of gothic horror and slapstick comedy. Involves deals with the Devil, lost heirs, reunited lovers, and jailbreaks.
به نظر من کل داستان میتونست توی بیست صفحه به جای دویست و بیست صفحه خلاصه بشه! حدود دو سوم کتاب رو خوندم و از اینکه شخصیتها دور خودشون میچرخیدن و هیچ اتفاقی نمیافتاد سرگیجه گرفتم وکتاب رو بستم! حتی برام مهم نبود پایانش چی میشه! Leggi tutto
This supernatural thriller is a bit scary, but it's also very funny. It's based on the legend of the Wild Hunt and the Demon Huntsman. The story involves plenty of outlandish characters and hilarious incidents. The high point is the shooting match near the end where one very improbable coincidence a Leggi tutto
When maidservent Hildi overhears her employer Count Karlstein discussing his nefarious plans for his two nieces, she knows she must do something to stop him. But, she's only a young girl herself.

This story is both scary and hilarious at the same time. It reminded me of Dracula or Frankentein for the younger reader, as it had the same gothic aspects and style of writing. Set in the fictional swiss village of Karlstein, it tells the story of the evil Count Karlstein; who makes a terrible deal Leggi tutto
I do not profess to be an expert on the works of Philip Pullman, but I have read a few, and I have to admit this book, of which I never knew of its existence until I saw it on the shelf at the library, is one of his finest. In a writing style and narrative I feel to be completely different from his
Count Karlstein isn't as good as Clockwork -- maybe that's the fact that I didn't read it as a child and I don't have associated nostalgia, though. Anyway, it's in a similar vein, a little bit of a Gothic story with suspense and an improbably wonderful conclusion. Fun, easy to read, but not ground-b Leggi tutto
This full cast recording was awesome. It was a little distracting have the music start up in the middle of the story for no apparent reason (other than to manipulate our mood) but overall I loved the actors and sound effects. Pullman is a great writer, and knows how to make memorable characters. His Leggi tutto

کتاب خوبی نبود. بعد از کوکی انتظار داشتم یه چیز فوقالعاده از فلیپ پولمن بخونم. اما این راضیم نکرد. یه چیزی که من توی اغلب نوشتهها دوست دارم تغییر راوییه. باعث گسترش داستان به صورت شاخهای میشه. به نظرم حتی یکم روی ریتم داستان اثر داره. و همینطور یه هنرنماییه از طرف نویسنده. اما توی این داستان اصلا Leggi tutto
