Las traducciones no paran... y yo encantado de que mis historias puedan llegar a distintos lectores del ancho mundo. Si hace semanas anunciaba que "Carne de su carne" acababa de ser editada en portugués y en francés, ahora llega la versión en inglés: "Flesh Of Flesh". Así que ya la pueden recomendar a todos sus amigos de habla inglesa para que puedan saborear esta oscura pieza de imaginería gótica.
Aquí tienen los principales enlaces para conseguirla, en papel y en ebook (aunque se puede encontrar también en casi todas las librerías virtuales):
Y he aquí la sinopsis breve y biografía del autor en inglés:
Flesh Of Flesh
Alceán
is a teenager who lives with his mother, shut away in an enormous and
sinister mansion that he has never left. The only world he has ever
known does a one hundred and eighty degree turn when his Uncle Belial
makes an unexpected arrival, and pushes him to transgress every
limitation his mother has ever imposed upon him. And this is how
Alceán will come to discover the terrible secrets kept by his family
for generations, including the truth regarding his own life of
seclusion.
About
"Flesh of Flesh":
“Flesh
of Flesh” unites elements of the Gothic novel with the classic
horror narrative (with prominent influence from Edgar Allen Poe) in
order to create a decadent and romantic ambience. The old mansion,
the sinister atmosphere, the family curse, heated emotions, and
hidden eroticism are clear ingredients of this tradition.
Nevertheless, the narrative exceeds the canon of the Romantic Gothic
novel, to the extent of reaching dark elements of authentic horror in
accordance with the contemporary canons, bordering on gore. This
entire palette of elements of the horror genre makes “Flesh of
Flesh” an attractive feast for lovers of the dark.
Narrated
in first person, this long story, or short novel, recounts the
childhood and youth of Alceán, its protagonist, in a style that is
both archaic and dreamlike, creating the sensation of listening to a
memory from illness, a feverish delirium, a sinister hallucination of
a tormented being who tells us his visions, so that we may share in
his anguish. The poetic and impassioned style of the protagonist
narrator does not prevent the story from captivating the reader,
advancing relentlessly until revealing its final, terrifying secret.
