Algunos cuentos completos

Libro inedito que el autor dejo listo para publicar antes de morir. Son piezas y esbozos narrativos, a los que se han adicionado otros cuentos de Bolano, en los que se mezclan relatos propiamente dichos y textos de naturaleza no narrativa.

Angrboda's story begins where most witch tales end: with being burnt. A punishment from Odin for sharing her visions of the future with the wrong people, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the furthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, and her initial distrust of him and any of his kind grows reluctantly into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces the most important things in her long life: a trio of peculiar children, each with a secret destiny, whom she is keen to raise at the edge ...

There is nothing proper about lady Katherine Killin. She is a spitfire that cannot be controlled. To get rid of her and fulfill a truce, her father agrees to wed her to his clan's enemy, Ben Rannoch. But when Katherine meets the enticing and attractive Kirk Rannoch, brother of her fiancé, suddenly she craves to be dominated.

Un libro inquietante que recuerda a otros escritores herederos de Poe pero con un aire contemporáneo, fresco, peligrosamente actual. Las heridas me las hice yo reúne dieciséis relatos donde lo siniestro se mezcla con lo cotidiano, la maldad y la ternura se confunden y el amor desaparece bajo la niebla de la noche. La locura, el poder, el sufrimiento y la muerte funcionan como plataformas sobre las que se construyen estas historias inquietantes y fascinantes a la vez. Son, al mismo tiempo, diferentes maneras de cuestionarse sobre los miedos y las obsesiones del ser humano.
