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.

Se han contado muchas historias sobre monstruos como el yeti, el bigfoot, el chupacabras o el monstruo del lago Ness, que esa paraciencia llamada criptozoología considera animales reales. En muchos libros se han expuesto los argumentos a favor y en contra y las supuestas pruebas de su existencia. De lo que no cabe duda es de que esas y otras criaturas misteriosas se han convertido en leyendas de nuestro tiempo. Mas alla de valorar las pruebas cientificas, en este libro se hace una historia de los hechos que generaron esas leyendas, se observa la evolucion de las creencias y se analiza el marco cultural en el que surgieron. Releyendo las cronicas antiguas, podemos entender de donde partieron las narraciones de los marinos sobre el kraken, las sirenas y la gran serpiente marina. Revisando los mitos sobre las razas monstruosas, los gigantes, el hombre salvaje y el hombre-mono, vemos brotar la figura del monstruo hominido, como los yetis asiaticos o el sasquatch y el bigfoot americanos. Las leyendas contemporaneas nos hablan de visiones de criaturas como el perro negro, el felino fantasma y, como no, el monstruo millennial que es el chupacabras, nacido con la era de internet.A diferencia de los criptozoologos y de los escepticos, Ignacio Cabria ha buscado comprender los mecanismos cognitivos, sociologicos y culturales que han operado en cada caso para hacer del monstruo un icono de nuestro tiempo y un simbolo de una nueva manera de ver el mundo natural, porque como construccion cultural que es, el monstruo es un concepto mas que un ser vivo.

Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creatures hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.A masterpiece. Phillip PullmanOne of the most original and complete productions of the day. Percy Bysshe ShelleyThe greatest paradox and most astonishing achievement of Mary Shelleys novel is that the monster is more human than his creator. This nameless being, as much a modern Adam as his creator is a modern Prometheus, is more lovable than his creator and more hateful, more to be pitied and more to be feared, and above all able to give the attentive reader that shock of added consciousness in which aesthetic recognition compels a heightened realization of self. Harold Bloom
