Horror stories arise from the need to talk about one’s fears, to confront them through words. Because words, which sometimes frighten us, can also heal us.
Since the dawn of time, human fears have taken many forms: demons that visit us to test us or propose disturbing pacts, as in La Salamanca; people who transform into animals, as in the story of El Lobison; people who eat other people, such as ogres and witches.

However, it is the dead who return to visit the world of the living in the form of vampires, ghosts, or zombies who are the privileged inhabitants of these tales.

Andruetto proposes a group of stories inspired by the oral tradition, and re-created with a limpid, intelligent prose, full of semantic echoes, very economic and personal. Far from seeking to make the reader “die of fright,” the purpose of turning that emotion into a refined aesthetic experience can be inferred. Cuatrogatos Magazine
