YOU are hiking in Snake Canyon when you find yourself lost in the strange, dimly lit Cave of Time. And depending on which of the curving paths you take, you’ll emerge into a different thrilling moment in history. Will you be adopted into a band of early humans and hunt down a woolly mammoth? Will you be captured by medieval knights and put on trial before a king? Or will you find yourself a passenger on board the Titanic moments before it hits an iceberg? With every twist and turn you choose, an entirely new adventure awaits you in the past … or maybe even the future!

YOU are on vacation in Connecticut when you notice a huge, empty stone house at the top of a hill. Your cousins call it “Chimney Rock,” and they tell you that no one who goes inside is ever seen again, but you’re the curious type, and so you venture inside its crumbling walls. Will you break the curse on Chimney Rock and come back out again a hero? Or will you face any number of grisly ends at the hands of the malevolent forces within? Be careful, the choices YOU make might end in glory, disaster, or certain death! A generation of readers was enraptured by the early classics of Choose Your Own Adventure, and while long-time fans will be thrilled to see its return to the shelves, new kid readers will love to explore one path after another, with every ending telling them a little more about the mystery of what happened at Chimney Rock and what can be done to break the curse.

Robert Neville es el único superviviente de una guerra bacteriológica que ha asolado el planeta y convertido al resto de la humanidad en vampiros. Su vida se ha reducido a asesinar el máximo número posible de estos seres sanguinarios durante el día, y a soportar su asedio cada noche. Para ellos, el auténtico monstruo es este hombre que lucha por subsistir en un nuevo orden establecido. Todo un clásico en su género, éste es un perturbador relato sobre la soledad y el aislamiento y una reflexión sobre los binomios como normalidad y anormalidad, bien y mal, que se evidencian como una mera convención derivada del temor y el desconcierto ante lo diferente.
