Synopsis "Cuentos macabros (in Spanish)"

"HP Lovecraft. El extraño (1921) narra la historia de un hombre que se ha criado en un caserón, totalmente alejado del mundo y del resto de los seres humanos, cuya existencia conoce sólo a través del conocimiento que ha adquirido de los libros presentes en el lugar. Después de reflexionar y harto de la soledad y los recuerdos decide escapar de todo aquello y se fuga de aquel encierro. Luego de deambular por una serie de lugares totalmente desconocidos para él, el misterioso extraño llega a un lugar en el cual descubre una importante y tétrica revelación sobre su verdadera existencia.

Bram Stoker. La casa del juez (1911), un estudiante aferrado a su racionalidad, se niega a creer en la leyenda negra que rodea a una casa de campo a la que recientemente se ha trasladado. Pero presencia varios sucesos inquietantes y debe aceptar que la casa está maldita.La casa del juez es uno de los relatos de fantasmas más impresionantes del período victoriano, y uno de los menos conocidos dentro de la obra de Bram Stoker. Tal vez opacado por su obra cumbre, Drácula. Sin embargo, La casa del juez, es una historia realmente escalofriante y un gran exponente del género de terror.

Horacio Quiroga. El almohadón de plumas (1917), una joven mujer cae enferma en la cama a causa de una anemia que empeora día a día. Esta anemia es causada por algo verdaderamente sorprendente que se alimenta de la sangre de la cabeza de la joven hasta que le ocasiona la muerte.

Lugones «fue y sigue siendo el máximo escritor argentino». Así lo considera Borges en la obra que le dedica. El hombre muerto (1907), relato unido por un casual e inquietante acercamiento a la muerte, y al miedo ante lo desconocido."

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
