El nuevo libro de relatos de un maestro de la narrativa breve, Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas.¿Quién está realmente seguro de no ser imaginario?Un hombre no sabe si es real o parte de un relato; otro accede a un estado desconocido y placentero tras una sedacion; alguien acaba traspasando la frontera entre realidad y ficcion despues de convertirse en personaje de un relato escrito por Andres Choz; dos gemelas viven intercambiando sus identidades hasta las ultimas consecuencias; un escritor se enfrenta solo a la ultima noche en la que un hotel esta abierto...Jose Maria Merino, uno de los grandes maestros del genero del relato en España, construye en este libro un artefacto literario genial, al modo de las muñecas rusas, en el que las ficciones encierran ficciones que ademas hablan unas con otras y comparten personajes o situaciones. Combinando el humor, la sorpresa y la inquietud ante lo desconocido, todos ellos giran en torno a temas tan sugerentes como la identidad, el doble, la frontera entre la vigilia y el sueño, las realidades paralelas o la inteligencia artificial.La critica ha dicho: [Destacamos] su maestria y excelencia en la creacion de literatura fantastica en las modalidades narrativas de novela, novela corta, cuento y microrrelato, asi como la inteligencia de sus reflexiones teoricas sobre la ficcion. Todo un referente para sucesivas generaciones. Jurado del Premio Nacional de las Letras EspañolasUna obrapolifonica muy amena, que hospeda la mirada reflexiva sobre el mundo de su autor. Santos Sanz Villanueva, El CulturalMerino mezcla la realidad y la ficcion, la biografia con la autobiografia, y la literatura con el arte. Karina Sainz Borgo, ZendaMaestro del cuento, mago de las palabras, jugueton con los vocablos y defensor del lenguaje como herramienta para vivir mas y mejor. Ines Martin Rodrigo, ABC CulturalMerino [arma] un cesto solido, sin rotos a pesar del reto. Tiene la maestria de quien ha merecido el Premio Nacional de las Letras, y el temple de aquel que ha saltado innumerables veces del trampolin encontrando siempre agua en el fondo. Maria Paredes, The ObjectiveSiempre ha dominado Jose Maria Merino esa oralidad de lo magico del lenguaje que es la identidad mas segura, y el mejor instrumento para darle a los sueños alas y procurarle a la filosofia espiritus que abonar. Es lo que tiene su dominio de la alquimia de la literatura. Merino coge las tormentas de granizo y las inundaciones de basura que nos deterioran a diario el paisaje de lo que somos, y las convierte en cuentos morales. Guillermo Busutil, Zenda

From a dancing automaton running amok at a ball, to a prehistoric beast lurking in the depths of a Yorkshire cave, this anthology explores the nature of the old weird, and unordinary stories which go outside the boundaries of everyday life.The anthology includes not only stories by well-known writers like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jerome K. Jerome, but also by long-forgotten authors such as D. F. Hannigan and Reginald Bacchus. Focusing on the idea and history of what can be classified as old weird, compared to the new weird, Rennison applies experience and knowledge of Victorian literary history to bring these supernatural tales to the surface.

Neil Denton, a psychology researcher, has reached a crisis in his career: he no longer believes in research, despite its claim to control variables. Everything seems pointless; nothing is proved. No matter how meticulous the research design, there is no way of knowing if there is some overlooked variable. Every study is challenged by a counter study. Dubbed his Hamlet Complex by Rachel Probender, he cant move forward, languishes in a state of inertia,his own PhD research into research at a standstill.Neil works in a department that specialises in replicating classic studies, led by Professor Matlock, famed for replicating Milgrams obedience research in England. Matlock has no doubts. For him, control of variables defines psychology as a science.Ironically, an uncontrolled variable has begun sabotaging the replications, making the department a target of media ridicule. But who and why? The saboteur is remarkably well informed, but who is the informer - a disgruntled insider perhaps?Rachel Probender, colleague and close friend of Neil, is researching the novel Frankenstein. Unknown to both, there is a connection between Frankenstein, the Psychology Departments celebrated research into obedience, and the sabotage.Suspected of being the informer, Neil, helped by Rachel, sets out to identify the informer and along the way resolves his own crisis.Set in the 1990s, the novel is a satire on the pitfalls of separate disciplines and the limitations of psychology as a science, and asks, what is science?
