Book Description
These stories range from tales told to the author as a child, to fictional accounts interweaving erotica, fantasy, and suspense elements in the rural and urban Gothic; part homage to the ancestors who lurk immortal in family folklore, part stories of imagination where specters emerge from the darkness to taunt and torment. From the terrors of the Great Depression to the devastation following Hurricane María, these tales chronicle the resistance and spirit of the Puerto Rican people; a testament to survival and perseverance in the face of disaster and the phantoms awaiting us when we turn off the lights. "Charlie Vázquez revisits the history of Puerto Rico and its diasporas, telling the stories of our dead. Using a textual tonality that brings Edgar Allan Poe and Horacio Quiroga to mind, Vázquez creates wonderfully crafted stories about souls who perish in the Great Depression, young widows drowned in hurricanes, soldiers recruited for medical experiments, and ladies of the night succumbing to vice. With an all-encompassing eye, Vázquez digs deep into various moments in Puerto Rican history to tell the stories of our terror, stories that endure in the realm of phantasms, trapping the living in a limbo that also turns them into transparent, yet present, traces of collective trauma. Finally, a book about our persisting ghosts written with a clarity that can help us conjure collective memory so we can move forward." Mayra Santos-Febres, author and founder of Festival de la Palabra de Puerto Rico

Book Description
25 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers. Women have always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural. This anthology aims to showcase the very best of these, from Amelia B. Edwards's 'The Phantom Coach', published in 1864, through past luminaries such as Edith Wharton and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, to modern talents including Muriel Gray, Sarah Pinborough and Lilith Saintcrow. From tales of ghostly children to visitations by departed loved ones, and from heart-rending stories to the profoundly unsettling depiction of extreme malevolence, what each of these stories has in common is the effect of a slight chilling of the skin, a feeling of something not quite present, but nevertheless there. If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .

Book Description
Named one of the best books of 2017 by The Guardian, NPR, GQ, The Economist, Bookforum, Amazon, and Lit Hub The definitive account of what happened, why, and above all how it felt, when catastrophe hit Japan—by the Japan correspondent of The Times (London) and author of People Who Eat Darkness On March 11, 2011, a powerful earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of northeast Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than eighteen thousand people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned. It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways. Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo and spent six years reporting from the disaster zone. There he encountered stories of ghosts and hauntings, and met a priest who exorcised the spirits of the dead. And he found himself drawn back again and again to a village that had suffered the greatest loss of all, a community tormented by unbearable mysteries of its own. What really happened to the local children as they waited in the schoolyard in the moments before the tsunami? Why did their teachers not evacuate them to safety? And why was the unbearable truth being so stubbornly covered up? Ghosts of the Tsunami is a soon-to-be classic intimate account of an epic tragedy, told through the accounts of those who lived through it. It tells the story of how a nation faced a catastrophe, and the struggle to find consolation in the ruins.

EL FANTASMA DE WASHINGTON.. 226 SOBRE EL AUTOR.. 246 PREFACIO "Esta antología de historias de fantasmas debe su publicación a mi antigua fascinación por las obras sobrenaturales e imaginativas. Cuando era niño, me cautivaban los cuentos de fantasmas, casas embrujadas, fantasmas y espectros. Historias de experiencias espeluznantes, ruido de cadenas, apariciones fantasmales. , y los sonidos inquietantes siempre me dejaban hechizado y sin aliento. El tiempo que pasé en las oficinas editoriales reveló que no estaba solo en mi amor por las historias de misterio. El deseo de explorar la existencia velada por la muerte es igualmente potente tanto en la vejez como en la juventud. Tanto hombres como mujeres y niños buscan emociones y esa sensación escalofriante cuando leen sobre visitantes de más allá de la tumba. Este volumen presenta algunos de los cuentos extraños más famosos de Edgar Allan Poe. En “El gato negro”, el misterio y lo sobrenatural se entrelazan a la perfección, y el protagonista felino se comporta con naturalidad en todo momento. La historia podría incluso ser cierta: es la narración lo que la ubica apropiadamente dentro de esta colección. Guy de Maupassant, el inteligente escritor francés, aporta dos piezas eficaces, y autores menos conocidos también ofrecen historias memorables. Cada uno de los veinticinco cuentos merece una lectura atenta. Recientemente, ha habido un resurgimiento del interés por las historias de fantasmas. Revistas de prestigio han publicado incidentes sobrenaturales y escritores de renombre han centrado su atención en esta cautivadora forma de literatura. Crea o no el lector en fantasmas, no puede dejar de interesarse por este pequeño libro. Sin aventurarme a expresar una opinión positiva en ningún sentido, sólo diré con Hamlet: “Hay más cosas en el cielo y en la tierra, Horacio, de las que sueña tu filosofía”.
