Una novela terrorífica basada en la vida de un abyecto hacendado que llega a construir un imperio de maldad y abuso en un país subdesarrollado, donde la vida no tenía mayor valor y los inquilinos eran solo esclavos de dos señores que recogieron el feudalismo del pasado, implantandolo en esta region. El sexo, la droga, la crueldad y la ambicion por el dinero llevan a este personaje a abrazar una vida alegre y peligrosa, asociandose a un proxeneta, miembro de un poderoso cartel de cocaina que los enriquece poderosamente. En la comarca del lesbianismo, las subastas de jovenes virgenes en medio de un cautiverio miserable, se agrega el horror de convivir con canibales hambreados que viven hacinados en un inmenso bosque que traspasa las fronteras de varios paises y que encierra en su oscuridad interior a estos seres que viven al acecho de carne.Inundada la atmosfera por hechos extraños y maravillosos, El valle de los pecados juega con el trafico sexual de jovenes, mediante personajes horripilantes y otros divinos que chocan con sus poderes en batallas dramaticas entre el bien y el mal, en medio de un caos infernal, donde se mezcla fuego, sangre y fe en un final insospechado y asombroso.

George Bernard Shaw Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see. Edgar Allan Poe Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute. Edgar Allan Poe

Conocedor de los atributos de la narrativa breve, Perea no hace concesiones con el lector. A través de la percepción de los personajes que habitan estas historias, sean niños, adolescentes rebeldes, academicos, adultos, familias, un lisiado, padres e hijos, el manojo diverso de cuentos nos toma por sorpresa. No hay nada en cada cuento leido que presagie nuestra relacion con el siguiente, y ese menu inesperado nos atrae. Nuestra unica certidumbre es que estamos ante la extrañeza que deviene de miedos y sueños y que puede derivar en un carnaval macabro, en pinturas comestibles, en volcanes derretidos, en arcadas sobre un puente del Trastevere. A tono con lo dantesco o mas paisaje del Bosco, algunas de las narraciones son delirantes, los personajes estan intoxicados de arte, de italiano, de borrachera, de caida, de infierno, de zombis, de insectos de Julio Ruelas. En Casa de cielo, Perea parece insistir en que la realidad siempre es fantastica, que no es posible trazar una linea divisoria entre el arte y el contexto, entre la pieza de museo y la vida, entre la percepcion y el suceso, entre lo vivido y la memoria, entre el tiempo detenido y el que corre pues todo cabe en el retablo de claroscuros de la experiencia humana, donde el cuento es rendija y lupa.
