The Cemetery of Forgotten Books Poster Set: The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game & The Prisoner of Heaven

Step into the shadowy backstreets of Barcelona with this poster set inspired by Carlos Ruiz Zafón's beloved Cemetery of Forgotten Books series. Atmospheric, gothic and full of literary intrigue, these three prints bring a shared world of secrets and stories to your walls.

Why these three belong together

Each of these novels is set in the same haunting, fog-wrapped Barcelona, where booksellers, forgotten authors and old grudges intertwine across the decades. Hung together, they trace the wider mysteries of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, from its first uncovering to the darker histories buried within it. This is a set for readers who love their fiction rich with atmosphere, memory and the quiet power of books themselves.

The Shadow of the Wind (2001)

In a dark and mysterious Barcelona, a young boy uncovers the secrets of a forgotten author. A poignant and intriguing novel about the magic of books and the secrets they keep, it remains the perfect introduction to Zafón's shadowy literary world.

The Angel's Game (2008)

In 1920s Barcelona, struggling novelist David Martín accepts a commission from a shadowy publisher to write a religious text, becoming entangled in murders tied to a cursed mansion. Ambition and madness collide in this darker, more gothic turn through the same haunted streets.

The Prisoner of Heaven (2011)

In 1957 Barcelona, bookseller Daniel Sempere learns how his friend Fermín survived a brutal prison during the Civil War and lost the woman he loved to a vengeful enemy. A tale of friendship and redemption shadowed by the wounds of war.

Styling your Cemetery of Forgotten Books wall

This trio suits a reading nook, study or staircase wall where their shared moody tones can build a real sense of place. For a sleek, contemporary look, try the Modern or Modern Minimalist styles side by side, or choose Square prints for a neat, gallery-style row above a shelf. The Watercolour style softens the gothic edge beautifully if you'd like something a touch more painterly. Oak framing brings out the warmth of old Barcelona, while black frames lend a striking, noirish finish, and white frames keep things fresh and light. However you hang them, remember that any three prints from Blurby Posters qualify for our buy 3, save 20% offer, so this set is a wonderfully easy way to bring a whole literary world into one room.
