John Miller

Dice John Miller, el editor de esta antología, que la irrupción en 2011 de la Barbie Tatuajes fue el signo definitivo de que "tatuarse había dejado de ser un claro distintivo antisocial"; quedaba, todo lo mas, "nostalgia por los viejos tiempos en que marcarse la piel tenia la fuerza inequivoca de la rareza". Estos quince Cuentos de tatuajes (1882-1952) son rarezas donde el tatuaje se asocia con lo criminal, lo aventurero, lo perverso, pero tambien con el arte y el amor. Autores conocidos como Hjalmar Soderberg, Junichir Tanizaki, Saki, Heimito von Dederer, Egon Erwin Kisch y Roald Dahl conviven con otros olvidados pero que tambien vieron en el tatuaje un motivo inspirador: un recuerdo de un pasado que se quiere olvidar, una marca de lealtad, a veces una maldicion, siempre un misterio. El tatuaje da pie a inquietantes fabulaciones en torno a la identidad, la comunidad, el rechazo social, el sentimiento mistico y el encanto perverso.

In this new collection, immerse yourself in the whispering voices between the branches in Wistman's Wood on Dartmoor, witness an inexplicable death in Yorkshire's Strid Wood and prepare yourself for an encounter with malignant pagan powers in the dark of the New Forest.

Fired up by the accounts of exploring parties in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, writers of the weird and supernatural began to construct a literary Arctic and Antarctic in which terrors lay undiscovered in the ice and gateways to bizarre hidden worlds were waiting. From James Hoggs lurid North Pole narrative of life amongst polar bears in The Surpassing Adventures of Allan Gordon to tales of mad science and ghostly visitations among the wind-blown expanse of the southern continent, this new collection showcases a wealth of neglected material and an overlooked niche of literature obsessed with the limits of human experience. Pulp tales of alien forces emerging from the ice and a battle between hunter and invisible man-eating duck creature drift alongside modern horror from indigenous Arctic voices to show the extent and endurance of the lure of these sublime landscapes.
