[Spanish] - Los crímenes de la calle Morgue

En “Los crímenes de la calle Morgue” (1841), Edgar Allan Poe (1809 – 1849) nos dejó lo que la crítica del S. XX calificaría como “el primer cuento moderno de detectives”. Y es que, sin duda, su influencia sobre otros autores del género es innegable, como resulta claramente de la comparación entre el espíritu observador y analítico del Auguste Dupin de “Los crímenes…” con el no menos inquisidor y obsesivo Sherlock Holmes de Conan Doyle… Allan Poe, al que Mallarmé llamaría “el dios intelectual del S. XIX” nos dejaría también, en sus cuentos cortos (fue el maestro indiscutido de ese género) los primeros ensayos sobre ciencia ficción. Escritor, poeta, crítico y periodista, es en sus cuentos en los que nos transmite sus obsesiones sobre el horror, el misterio y la muerte. “Los crímenes de la calle Morgue” es, sin duda, uno de sus mejores relatos, sobre el que Matthew Pearl dijera que la experiencia de leerlo “consiste en que nuestro propio papel de investigadores emerge junto al del narrador y, por supuesto, del hecho de que el propio narrador permanezca sin nombre todo el tiempo, lo que facilita nuestra identificación con él, al lado de Auguste Dupin”. Es también “Los crímenes…” una obra muy representativa del intenso romanticismo de Poe, cuya vida trágica y atormentada se vería reflejada en sus poemas y cuentos.Para decirlo con las palabras de Julio Cortázar (cuya traducción prestigia la presente edición): “Ni siquiera en sus cuentos analíticos se salva Poe de sus peores obsesiones”.

The Forest Demands Its Due

A Lesson in Vengeance meets The Taking of Jake Livingston in this page-turning YA horror/fantasy set in dark academia about a queer Black teen who discovers the sinister history of his boarding school and the corrupt powers behind it all. Regent Academy has a long and storied history in Winslow, Vermont, as does the forest that surrounds it. The school is known for molding teens into leaders, but its history is far more nefarious. Seventeen-year-old Douglas Jones wants nothing to do with Regent's king-making; he’s just trying to survive. But then a student is murdered and, for some reason, by the next day no one remembers him having ever existed, except for Douglas and the groundskeeper's son, Everett Everley. In his determination to uncover the truth, Douglas awakens a horror hidden within the forest, unearthing secrets that have been buried for centuries. A vengeful creature wants blood as payment for a debt more than 300 years in the making—or it will swallow all of Winslow in darkness. And for the first time in his life, Douglas might have a chance to grasp the one thing he’s always felt was missing: power. But if he’s not careful, he will find out that power has a tendency to corrupt absolutely everything. A high-octane mystery of murder and magic for fans of Ace of Spades, House of Hollow, and Get Out!

Last to Leave the Room is a new novel of genre-busting speculative horror from Caitlin Starling, the acclaimed author of The Death of Jane Lawrence. The city of San Siroco is sinking. The basement of Dr. Tamsin Rivers, the arrogant, selfish head of the research team assigned to find the source of the subsidence, is sinking faster.

This doppelgänger is sweet and biddable where Tamsin is calculating and cruel. It appears fully, terribly human, passing every test Tamsin can devise. But the longer the double exists, the more Tamsin begins to forget pieces of her life, to lose track of time, to grow terrified of the outside world. As her employer grows increasingly suspicious, Tamsin must try to hold herself together long enough to figure out what her double wants from her, and just where the mysterious door leads… A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
