Javier Calvo: Wonderful World

A long time ago, a boy threw a stone into the water of a bay in the Ampurdan. Then he covered his eyes so he wouldn't catch sight of the emerging sea monster.

This novel was written by the ghost of Charles Dickens, summoned and questioned using the system of Enochian magic created by John Dee and Edward Kelley. During the process of its conception and creation, Stephen King published the following works: The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla; The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah; The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower; The Colorado Kid; Cell, and Lisey's Story. May this humble book be an homage to the Most Enduring Genius of Our Times.

The author would like to give his heartfelt thanks to the true members of the Down With The Sun Society: Miguel Aguilar, Toño Angulo, Robert Juan-Cantavella, Mónica Carmona, Francisco Casavella, Eva Cuenca, Marga Durá, Isidre Estévez, Beatriz Fluxá, Rodrigo Fresán, Marc Godessart, Roger Gual, Josan Hatero, Andreu Jaume, Carola Kunkel, Claudio López Lamadrid, Mónica Martín, Gabi Martínez, Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, Nikki Murphy, Iván de la Nuez, Patricia Núñez, Lucas Quejido, Félix Sabaté, Diego Salazar, Patrick Salvador, Michael Slagle, Manel Soler, Anna Stein, Mercedes Vaquero, Manolo Vázquez. And above them all, sitting in a sunless house, Mara Faye Lethem.

This novel is about each and every one of them.
