About ALICIA IS IN THE BASEMENT:

One summer afternoon, Santi and Maria's daughter disappears without a trace from a public park. A fruitless investigation passes, the agony only serving to tear Santi’s life and family further apart.

Months go by, and Santi finally stumbles upon a clue: it is hardly a name, barely a whisper, but it is enough to reveal a haunting legacy and unleash an entirely new kind of horror upon the despairing young father:

“He Who Does Not Speak With Children.”

First English language release. Translated by Alicia L. Alonso.

**ALICIA IS IN THE BASEMENT features disturbing imagery of child death and abduction. Please be advised. 

“A harrowing journey that becomes increasingly nightmarish with every page.”

• Carson Winter, Soft Targets, Portraits of Decay

"Tenebrous went for broke here and this is by far their best. A painstaking, demented journey."
