Cuando Llega La Noche / When Night Falls

Por último, Sycamore Avenue nos presenta a un narrador insomne que pasa las noches en vela mirando por la ventana. Hasta que una madrugada cree ver una enigmática silueta en la mansión abandonada del final de la avenida, un lugar vacío desde hace décadas y envuelto por absurdas leyendas.

Unidas por su ritmo adictivo, una poderosa atmósfera y el estilo inconfundible de Mikel Santiago, estas tres novelas cortas --perfectas para leer en la penumbra, tal vez durante una tormenta-- muestran de nuevo la maestría de uno de los mejores autores de suspense a nivel internacional.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Tension, fear and dark suspense reign in When Night Falls, three novellas published together for the first time and featuring characters pushed to their limits by shadowy dangers.

Story of a Perfect Crime is the confession of murderer Eric Rot. In 100 pages that evoke Hitchcock and Poe, Santiago describes the unbearable burden of carrying certain secrets.

In Night of Souls, we meet a pair of backpackers who have misjudged the difficulty of their desert hike. On the verge of exhaustion, they are relieved to find an old house surrounded by a strange stone circle. That's when the real nightmare begins.

The narrator of the volume's last story, Sycamore Avenue, is an insomniac who spends the nights at his window. Early one morning, he spies a mysterious silhouette in the abandoned mansion at the end of the street, a house that's been empty for years and is the subject of strange local legends.

With the addictive pace and gripping atmosphere Santiago's fans will recognize from this previous works, these three novellas - perfect for reading on a dark night, preferably during a storm - showcase the talent of one of the world's great masters of suspense.
