Cuentos de terror y fantasmas



EL CICLO DE DUNWICH (LOVECRAFT, H.P.)
En los Dunwich del mundo, las viejas tradiciones se demoran. A salvo, alejados de las bulliciosas ciudades, ignorando la ciencia e ignorados por la civilización, lo bastante monótonos para no entusiasmar a los demás y lo bastante pobres para no provocar la envidia de nadie, son refugios seguros para la superstición y para ciertas costumbres aparentemente absurdas. En ocasiones, también albergan verdades que se han ido filtrando, de forma invisible, durante siglos. Aunque sus habitantes son incultos, no ignoran aquellas cosas que antaño fueron grandes y terribles, en los tiempos en que los ríos eran rojos y un oscuro estremecimiento envolvía el aire. Ahora, esos tiempos han regresado. Nueve historias ambientas en el lugar en el que se inicia el horror; todas ellas prologadas y con una introducción general escrita por el editor de la serie.

LIBROS DE SANGRE II 2ª ED. (BARKER, CLIVE)
Los relatos reunidos en este volumen han conmocionado a los lectores más veteranos de libros de terror, porque no repiten ninguno de los tópicos del género y cada historia abre las compuertas a una forma inédita de espanto, como "Las pieles de nuestros padres", "Los nuevos crímenes de la calle Morgue", "Hijo del celuloide", "Rex Cabezacruda", "Confesiones del sudario (de un pornógrafo)", "Cabezas de turco" y "Restos humanos". Los Libros de Sangre son un compendio de oscuras visiones que se adentran en los sueños que se deslizan en secreto por nuestro subconsciente, aguardando para salir a la luz. Capaz de adentrarse tanto en lo inimaginable como en lo indescriptible, Clive Barker revive nuestras pesadillas más profundas y siniestras, creando visiones a la vez estremecedoras, conmovedoras y terroríficas
