Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta colección cuenta con grandes nombres de la literatura, pero rescata también a maestros del género menos reconocidos. El resultado es una deliciosa oda a lo escalofriante y a lo extraño. Llega el invierno, las noches son más largas. Hay quienes se reúnen bajo el muérdago con sus familiares y amigos; otros abogan por la abolición del espíritu navideño bajo el lema «Prohibir la Navidad o Morir». Entre las páginas de esta colección de relatos acechan fantasmas y casas encantadas, pero también problemas cotidianos mucho más reconocibles y no menos aterradores. Y todos ellos tienen una cosa en común: el frío. Ese frío que nos recorre la columna al abrir la ventana una tarde de invierno, ya sea porque ahí fuera sopla una brisa helada o porque? ¿Quién sabe qué se esconde en esa oscuridad? CRÍTICA «Estos cuentos extraños son la lectura navideña perfecta, llena de visitantes inquietantes y espíritus amantes de la fiesta. » ?Christopher Hart, The Times «Es una verdadera delicia leer la obra de los maestros de lo extraño del pasado. » ?Oddly Weird Fiction *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
