Description & Specifications

A mysterious elderly woman haunts and dominates the life of a brilliant young man; an exile in the far North engages in an unimaginable struggle against relentless nature; a betrayed husband seeks revenge with an unexpected outcome; and two archetypal writers engage in an unexpected and hilarious dialogue with their Muse.

The stories in this collection are representative samples of the various manifestations of the fantastic, while also displaying selective kinships and influences from Edgar Allan Poe, whose poetic work Alarcon admired greatly.

The common denominator of these unexpected narratives is Death, as a lurking shadow and an eternal threat (so that each of the stories serves as a memento mori), sometimes also as salvation, since according to the author "death is the refuge from all pain."
