"Ora, embora no possamos acreditar na existencia de Cerbero, o co de tres cabeças, ou na de Alecto, a furia com cabelos de serpente, talvez valha a pena considerar se a persuaso dos antigos em relaço aquilo que diz respeito a todos nos de forma to proxima isto e, o destino que nos espera quando nos libertarmos desta estrutura mortal no pode ter algum fundamento na verdade: se no poderia ser um resquicio de uma tradiço transmitida desde os primeiros habitantes da Terra, captada pela observaço da natureza, se no comunicada por uma fonte superior."

En su ensayo "El horror sobrenatural en la literatura", H. P. Lovecraft atribuye a Walter de la Mare una curiosa técnica narrativa, consistente "en transmitir los sentimientos, en el sentido de llevarlos desde el texto a la mente del lector. Y el autor lo consigue de forma soberbia". A la luz de estos relatos seria valido afirmar que esta tecnica opera por sugestion y acumulacion, en ese delgado confin donde se funden lo real y lo fantasmal. Los relatos incluidos en este volumen fueron seleccionados, traducidos y prologados por Francisco Torres Olivier, uno de los mayores impulsores del genero macabro y sobrenatural en lengua castellana. Se incluyen los cuentos mas celebrados de De la Mare, esos donde el eco de las palabras resulta, por momentos, mas potente que las propias palabras.Walter de la Mare (1843-1956) es dueño de una obra eclectica: ensayos, poemas infantiles, cuentos de terror psicologico. Las delicadezas campean en su literatura: es el trabajo con las atmosferas aquello que lo alejan de la ortodoxia y las vanguardias para convertirlo, sin eufemismos, en un autor unico en su genero.Quizas por eso su traductor reconoce su valor y, a la vez, las enormes dificultades de volcarlo al español. Quizas por eso estos relatos son tan usuales en antologias del ambito angloparlante, y casi inhallables en idioma español. Como fuese, el rescate de estos cuentos cumple en celebrar, con pleno merecimiento, a un autor insoslayable en la literatura fantastica del siglo XX.
