"Quien ose adentrarse en las páginas de este libro sentirá un escalofrío recorriéndole la espina dorsal, y algunas cosas más. Son doce cuentos de horror, doce relatos sobre el horror: sobre el mal que acecha y los monstruos que surgen de pronto en la realidad más cotidiana, en grandes urbes o pequeños pueblos recónditos. En uno de los cuentos, una mujer mantiene a raya a los fantasmas que andan sueltos por un barrio periférico de Buenos Aires; entre ellos, los de su madre muerta de una dolorosa enfermedad, los de unas adolescentes asesinadas en la calle, el de un ladrón pillado en pleno robo y el de un chico que huía de un secuestro exprés. En otra historia, una pareja alquila una casa para unas vacaciones en un pueblo que ha ido perdiendo habitantes desde que el tren dejó de pasar; visitan en la estación abandonada la exposición de los perturbadores lienzos de un artista local, pero lo verdaderamente aterrador será conocer al autor de esas pinturas. En otra pieza, los voluntarios de una ONG que reparte comida por barrios marginales son perseguidos por unos niños de pavorosos ojos negros. En otra, una periodista que investiga la historia de una chica desaparecida en un hotel en Los Ángeles, cuyas espeluznantes imágenes recorrieron internet, acaba enfrentándose a otra leyenda de la ciudad..."--Amazon.com.
Anyone who dares to delve into the pages of this book will feel a shiver running down their spine, and then some. There are twelve horror stories, twelve tales about horror: about the evil that lurks and the monsters that suddenly appear in the most everyday reality, in large cities or small remote towns. In one of the stories, a woman keeps at bay the ghosts that roam around a peripheral neighborhood of Buenos Aires; among them, those of her mother who died of a painful illness, those of some teenagers murdered in the street, that of a thief caught in the act of a robbery and that of a boy who was fleeing from an express kidnapping. In another story, a couple rents a house for a vacation in a town that has been losing inhabitants since the train stopped running; they visit the exhibition of the disturbing canvases of a local artist in the abandoned station, but the truly terrifying thing will be meeting the author of those paintings. In another piece, volunteers from an NGO distributing food in slums are chased by children with terrifying black eyes. In another, a journalist investigating the story of a girl who disappeared in a hotel in Los Angeles, whose chilling images circulated on the Internet, ends up facing another legend of the city...
