Tapa dura. Condition: New. Una selección de relatos de horror que muestra lo más oscuro del mundo vegetal. Una antología que reúne a nombres como Roald Dahl, Eudora Welty o H.P. Lovecraft.Orquídeas sanguinarias, bosques enteros que se rebelan contra quienes los masacraron, setas tan bellas como venenosas, robles majestuosos que se convierten en la reencarnación del hombre de la casa, maravillosas enredaderas que reviven espantosos fantasmas del pasado, máquinas rudimentarias que permiten registrar el terrible sufrimiento de las plantas maltratadas, árboles solitarios que señalan el mismísimo umbral a un mundo pesadillesco. Un verdor siniestro recorre la literatura de los siglos XIX y XX y nos recuerda que las plantas, seres fascinantes y misteriosos, benéficos y letales a la vez, encarnan la otredad en forma de monstruo silencioso, al tiempo que padecen los efectos de la avaricia que lleva al ser humano a usurpar y destruir sin compasión aquellas formas de vida que, reducidas a materia prima, pueden generar riqueza.Gótico botánico es un catálogo de historias del mundo vegetal más fantástico, que incluye a autores tan destacados como M.R. James, Richmal Crompton, H. P. Lovecraft o Roald Dahl, y que permite, además, descubrir las inquietantes creaciones de escritoras pulp como Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Maria Moravsky o Eli Colter. A partir de ahora, el verde será el nuevo negro.CRÍTICA«Ya sea como eficaces símbolos de temas universales, en forma de remotos miedos victorianos y de personajes híbridos, peligrosos o sedientos de venganza, los vegetales ofrecen una fascinante variedad literaria, consecuencia lógica de su casi infinita y perturbadora cantidad de especímenes y de todo lo que nos queda por descubrir sobre ellos.» --Patricia Esteban Erlés.…
