书籍简介

因为有些门永远不应该打开。

纽约书商卡西·安德鲁斯(Cassie Andrews)对自己的生活不确定。她过着安静的生活，和她好朋友伊兹合租一套公寓。然后一位很喜欢的顾客给了她一本旧书。满是奇怪的文字和神秘的图画，在前面有一个手写的信息:

这是《门之书》。把它握在手里，任何一扇门都是每一扇门。

凯西即将发现门之书是一本特别的书——一本神奇的书。一本能赋予拥有它的人非凡能力的书。她即将了解到，还有其他魔法书也能做出奇妙或可怕的事情。

因为哪里有魔法，哪里就有力量，而有些人会不惜一切代价去拥有它。

突然，卡西和伊兹面临着暴力和危险，而能帮助他们的人是德拉蒙德·福克斯，他有一个秘密的魔法图书馆，藏在阴影中保管，一个逃离自己的恶魔的人。因为有一个无名的恶魔正在追捕他们所有人…

《门之书》令人上瘾，文笔出色，完全无法抗拒，是一部引人入胜、令人费解、心跳加速的新冒险小说，非常适合《午夜图书馆》的粉丝。

Because some doors should never be opened.

New York bookseller Cassie Andrews is not sure what she’s doing with her life.  She lives quietly, sharing an apartment with her best friend, Izzy.  Then a favourite customer gives her an old book.  Full of strange writing and mysterious drawings, at the front there is a handwritten message:

This is the Book of Doors.  Hold it in your hand, and any door is every door.

Cassie is about to discover that the Book of Doors is a special book – a magic book.  A book that bestows extraordinary abilities on whoever possesses it.  And she is about to learn that there are other magic books out there that can also do wondrous – or dreadful and terrifying things.

Because where there is magic there is power and there are those who will stop at nothing to possess it.

Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the person who can help them is Drummond Fox who has a secret library of magical books hidden in the shadows for safekeeping, a man fleeing his own demons.  Because there is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all . . .

Addictive, brilliantly written and utterly irresistible, The Book of Doors is the spell-binding, mind-bending, heart-pounding new adventure that is perfect for fans of The Binding, The Midnight Library.

作者简介

Gareth Brown从很小的时候就想成为一名作家，他在十几岁的时候完成了他的小说。在过去的二十年里，他一直在英国公务员制度和国民健康服务机构工作，同时在业余时间写作。在不工作或写作的时候，Gareth喜欢旅行，尤其是在一个新城市旋风般的几个小时，以及穿越美丽风景的长途公路旅行。他喜欢烧烤，糕点，打台球，像个老人一样在电视机前睡着了。Gareth和他的妻子以及两只鲁莽而极易激动的斯凯犬住在苏格兰爱丁堡附近。

Gareth Brown wanted to be a writer from a very young age, and he completed his novel as a teenager. For the last twenty years he has worked in the UK Civil Service and the National Health Service while writing in his spare time. When not working or writing, Gareth loves travelling, especially the whirlwind few hours in a new city and long road trips through beautiful landscapes. He enjoys barbecues, patisseries, playing pool, and falling asleep in front of the television like an old man. Gareth lives with his wife and two impudent and highly excitable Skye terriers near Edinburgh in Scotland.
