Una obra que seduce y perturba, perfecta para almas nocturnas, amantes de lo gótico y buscadores de belleza en la oscuridad.Vampiros, de la aclamada autora Elia Barceló, es una invitación hipnótica a sumergirse en las profundidades de un mito tan oscuro como fascinante. Mucho mas que un compendio de leyendas, este album ilustrado es una exploracion inedita del universo vampirico, donde lo sobrenatural, lo historico y lo literario se entrelazan con una elegancia inquietante.Desde las sombras del folclore ancestral hasta las recreaciones mas contemporaneas, Barcelo considerada una de las voces mas versatiles y prestigiosas del panorama narrativo español desvela la evolucion de estas criaturas nocturnas: su magnetismo, sus reglas ocultas, sus metamorfosis a lo largo de los siglos y su inquebrantable vinculo con el deseo, la muerte y la eternidad.Pero esta obra va mas alla del analisis o la recopilacion: tres relatos ineditos, firmados por la autora, atraviesan el libro como colmillos literarios, abriendo grietas en la realidad y permitiendo que el lector experimente, en carne viva, el escalofrio de lo imposible.Una obra imprescindible para amantes de lo fantastico, coleccionistas de lo bello y espiritus valientes dispuestos a mirar a los ojos a la noche.¿Te atreves a cruzar el umbral?

La sangre del vampiro de Florence Marryat es una novela gótica fascinante que mezcla misterio, romance y crítica social. Publicada en el mismo año que Drácula de Bram Stoker, ofrece una visión muy distinta del mito vampirico. La historia gira en torno a Harriet Brandt, una joven huerfana de ascendencia caribeña que viaja a Europa en busca de libertad, amistades y un lugar en el que pueda ser aceptada. Sin embargo, alli donde va, ocurren extrañas desgracias: personas que caen enfermas o mueren de manera inexplicable tras convivir con ella.Harriet es inocente de sus propios poderes, pues desconoce el legado que arrastra en la sangre. Su madre fue hija de una esclava y de un conde cruel, mientras que su padre fue un cientifico obsesionado con experimentos en seres humanos. De esa oscura herencia proviene la fuerza invisible que convierte a Harriet en alguien temido y rechazado. A diferencia de los vampiros tradicionales que se alimentan de manera consciente, Harriet absorbe la vitalidad de los demas sin proponerselo, lo que la convierte en un personaje tragico, atrapado entre el deseo de amar y la imposibilidad de vivir en paz.En Inglaterra, Harriet se relaciona con la alta sociedad y conoce a personajes que marcan su destino. Margaret Pullen, una mujer sensible y observadora, pronto sospecha que la presencia de Harriet no es casual en la sucesion de tragedias. El doctor Phillips, por su parte, representa la mirada cientifica y racional que intenta explicar el enigma. Entre bailes, encuentros sociales y conversaciones cargadas de tension, la joven protagonista oscila entre ser aceptada o condenada por aquello que no puede controlar.La novela no solo explora el misterio gotico, sino tambien la idea de herencia, raza y genero en la epoca victoriana. Harriet es a la vez victima y amenaza, una figura compleja que conecta lo humano con lo sobrenatural, manteniendo al lector en vilo hasta el final.
