La canción detrás de todas las cosas
Este libro está escrito en clave geológica: sus cuentos, entre oníricos y tectónicos, están unidos en el más estricto sentido como las capas de la tierra, cada una con temperatura distinta pero a su vez profundamente relacionada con la previa y con la siguiente, para finalmente, conformar un todo único. La literatura de Gabriela abreva de la ciencia, la historia, la ficción y la literatura especulativa. Aquí hay textos conformados por un imaginario topográfico, mineral y animal. Al leer esta obra, es inevitable preguntarse qué pasaría si la tierra debajo de nuestros pies, soñara, ¿qué soñaría, cómo lo haría? ¿Y luego qué sucedería cada vez que la tierra intentase recordar sus sueños? En palabras de Verónica Murguía: "Gabriela ha imaginado pacientemente y durante muchos años, con el oído pegado al suelo y los dedos hundidos en los terrones, las voces que resuenan en la oscuridad, los ecos de la respiración y el latido del mundo". Avanzar en la lectura de este libro es penetrar la masa oculta de la Tierra.
Cabezas en la ventana
¿Qué hay en el fondo de nosotrxs? ¿Qué hay, a su vez, en lo más profundo de lxs demás? El terror ilumina esas preguntas, es costura fina, una manera de explorar lugares lejanos, propios y ajenos, y de hablar de las diferencias, que hoy espantan a tanta gente. Sin duda, el terror descoloca nuestros prejuicios sobre la otredad, evoca los fantasmas que nos acompañan, piensa a la sociedad, la naturaleza, en nuestros límites, es una forma de mirar de cerca lo que, quizás, queremos esconder. ¿Qué significa el destape de lo macabro o, mejor dicho, de lo incomprensible? Este libro congrega textos inéditos de las voces más trascendentales (aunque no todas, claro) del terror actual latino...
Poe
"Edgar Allan Poe served as a soldier and began his literary career composing verses modelled on Byron; soon he was trying out his 'prose-tales' - often horror melodramas such as The Fall of the House of Usher. As editor of the Literary Messenger he was influential among critics and writers of the American South. His versatile writings - including for example The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Raven - continue to resonate down the centuries. eter Ackroyd's biography of Poe opens with his end, his final days --- no one knows what happened between the time when friends saw him off on the steam-boat to Baltimore and his discovery six days later dying in a tavern. This mystery sets the scene for a short life packed with drama and tragedy (drink and poverty) combined with extraordinary brilliance. Tennyson described him as 'the most original genius that America has produced'. oe has been claimed as the forerunner of modern fantasy, and credited with the invention of psychological dramas (long before Freud), science fiction (before H.G. Wells and Jules Verne) and the detective story (before Arthur Conan Doyle). He influenced European romanticism and was the harbinger of both Symboli

Ornaments in Jade
THE delicate and strange fancies of Arthur Machen are beautifully apparelled in the type of this thin volume. This is a limited edition of one thousand, the book being designed by T. M. Clcland, printed under his supervision by the Pynson Printers, and every copy autographed by the author. The content-there are ten short pieces in all-piques the interest with such titles as "The Turanians," "Witchcraft," "Torture," and "The Holy Things." One reads with an admiration for Machen's caressing touch upon language. Here is a lapidary and a musician of words. As for the queer beliefs and the peculiar, twisted intelligence that peer out between the words-they engender impatience and sometimes even a...
