Tomás tiene una memoria prodigiosa y una agudeza inusual, natural en el que prenden fuerte las raíces de un juicioso estudio. Pero una amante desdeñada, buscando ganarle con bebedizos, logra es malograrle la salud. Tomás se repone... o lo hace a medias, porque este su nuevo estado dará pie a las más satíricas ocurrencias que no dejan de encerrar su cuota de razón.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The Gothic short story is one of the most enduring of genres. In this volume we explore works by classic authors from all corners of Europe as they explore and exploit narratives with their undeniable talents.
