Overview

With a heady mix of sensuality and terror, the two stories in this slim volume come by their chills not through outlandish turns of events or twists of plot, but rather by exploiting the inherent mysteriousness of everyday places and events. The first tale, “Rete Carótida,” is named for one of its protagonists who, in the words of the author, is a “kind of dignified monster.” The second story, “Escamas, piel,” relates the story of Irene, a woman who exercises a powerful attraction over her lovers, and in whose mysterious comings and goings there is a certain terrifying, though seductive, secret. Readers will be drawn in by the suspense and titillation that these tales have to offer. Con una mezcla embriagadora de sensualidad y terror, las dos historias en este corto volumen resultan escalofriantes, no a base de efectos sorprendentes o giros de eventos inverosímiles, pero más bien a través de explotar el misterio inherente de los momentos y espacios cotidianos. El primer cuento, “Rete Carótida,” lleva por título el nombre de una de sus protagonistas que, según el autor, es “una especie de monstruo digno.” La segunda historia, “Escamas, piel,” relata el cuento de Irene, una mujer que ejerce una atracción poderosa sobre sus amantes, y en cuyas apariciones y desapariciones hay un secreto que asusta tanto como atrae. Los lectores serán atraídos por el suspense y la titilación que ofrecen estas historias.
