Gracias a Dark’s Wolf Fantasy Reviews he podido conocer los relatos que formarán parte del libro European Monsters, una colección de relatos cuya idea principal es recontar las historias de monstruos del folclore local. Entre los escritores, un relato de Aliette de Bodard, en una faceta poco conocida.
Aquí tenéis la presentación:
They lurk and crawl and fly in the shadows of our mind. We know them from ancient legends and tales whispered by the campfire. They hide under the dark bridge, in the deep woods or out on the great plains, in the drizzling rain forest or out on the foggy moor, beneath the surface, under your bed. They don’t sparkle or have any interest in us except to tear us apart. They are the monsters! Forgotten, unknown, misunderstood, overused, watered down. We adore them still. We want to give them a renaissance, to reestablish their dark reputation, to give them a comeback, let the world know of their real terror.
