Pilar Pedraza

    Španělská autorka se věnuje dvěma hlavním žánrům: hororové fikci a esejím. Ačkoli není široké veřejnosti příliš známá, jedná se o kultovní autorku, jejíž osobitý sadomasochistický feminismus připomíná kontroverzní americkou myslitelku Camille Pagliu a britskou romanopiskyni Angelu Carterovou. Její dílo tak představuje jedinečné spojení provokativní intelektuální analýzy a mrazivé literární imaginace.

      What if there were a whole world of great horror fiction out there you didn't know anything about, written by authors in distant lands and in foreign languages, outstanding horror stories you had no access to, written in languages you couldn't read? For an avid horror fan, what could be more horrifying than that? For this groundbreaking volume, the first of its kind, the editors of Valancourt Books have scoured the world, reading horror stories from dozens of countries in nearly twenty languages, to find some of the best contemporary international horror stories. The stories in this volume come from 19 countries on 5 continents and were originally written in 13 different languages. All 20 foreign language stories in this volume are appearing in English for the first time ever. The book includes stories by some of the world's preeminent horror authors, many of them not yet known in the English-speaking world.
