La Misteriosa Aventura de Alberto es una historia ficticia sobre este hombre llamado Alberto escrita por un joven de 25 años que sufre esquizofrenia. Esta historia es totalmente incoherente para reír y disfrutarla, también contiene humor, surrealismo y diversión. Es una locura de historia donde viajan por muchos lugares de todo el planeta haciendo cosas sin sentido, la mayoría de la gente muere pero eso ya sería un Spoiler. Todo parece no tener sentido pero en el fondo al terminar la historia algo no muy grande toma bastante sentido, a mi me encantó como quedó. Disfrútenla.

It's watching.
Liz Rocher is coming home . . . reluctantly. As a Black woman, Liz doesn't exactly have fond memories of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a predominantly white town. But her best friend is getting married, so she braces herself for a weekend of awkward, passive-aggressive reunions. Liz has grown, though; she can handle whatever awaits her. But on the day of the wedding, somewhere between dancing and dessert, the couple's daughter, Caroline, disappears-and the only thing left behind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood.
It's taking.
As a frantic search begins, with the police combing the trees for Caroline, Liz is the only one who notices a pattern: A summer night. A missing girl. A party in the woods. She's seen this before. Keisha Woodson, the only other Black girl in Liz's high school, walked into the woods with a mysterious man and was later found with her chest cavity ripped open and her heart removed. Liz shudders at the thought that it could have been her, and now, with Caroline missing, it can't be a coincidence. As Liz starts to dig through the town's history, she uncovers a horrifying secret about the place she once called home. Children have been going missing in these woods for years. All of them Black. All of them girls.
It's your turn.
With the evil in the forest creeping closer, Liz knows what she must do: find Caroline, or be entirely consumed by the darkness.
