博客來Frank, a London banker, and his Thai bride, Joy, set off on their dream honeymoon to Fuengirola, Spain. Their destination: a luxurious apartment on Calle Goya, a generous loan from Frank’s boss. But their idyllic escape turns nightmarish when Joy senses a sinister presence within the apartment’s walls. Her growing fear spirals into paranoia, terror, and madness-leaving Frank desperate and helpless. Unbeknownst to them, their arrival has drawn the attention of a secret Norwegian society that venerates the artist Francisco de Goya. Mistaking the couple for part of their latest initiation test, the society’s members watch from the shadows, setting in motion a chain of tragic misunderstandings.
In a last-ditch effort to save Joy’s sanity, Frank takes her to her family’s village in Thailand. Yet, he finds himself isolated and shunned by her family, a foreigner navigating unfamiliar customs and judgment. Only the kindness of a young local woman offers him solace as he battles despair.
When Joy’s health finally improves, their return to London brings a shocking revelation-Frank’s boss is deeply entangled with the Goya Society and knows the true cause of their ordeal. With justice demanded and debts repaid, the society seeks to make amends.
A tale of fear, love, and redemption, The Ghouls of Calle Goya explores how secrets from the past can shatter lives-and how courage and understanding can heal them.
