Una colección de cuentos muy difícil de leer en el mejor sentido posible. Muchos cuentos de terror clásico como casas abandonadas, o apariciones y desapariciones repentinas, pero lo que une a todo el libro son las voces de mujeres, creando personajes difíciles y complejos. No todos los cuentos me encantaron, pero comprendo a lo que la autora quería llegar, y para mí eso es suficiente. Están hechos con tanta delicadeza que no puedo darle otro rating que no sea casi cinco estrellas.

No tengo idea de cómo empezar esta reseña. La narración es una joya, de eso no hay duda. Es clara y vívida, te atrae y atrapa a pesar del contenido. O tal vez precisamente por el contenido de las historias. Me dieron escalofríos, asco y miedo y aún así no podía dejar de leer. No la clase de libro con el que planeaba empezar el mes del pride, pero no me dio tiempo terminarlo en mayo. Al ser una antología no todos los cuentos fueron igual de buenos pero en su totalidad fue una cosa bárbara. Hubo unos que realmente me causaron emociones muy viscerales. Ponerle una calificación fue toda una deliveración pero 3.5 me parece suficiente, no porque sea malo sino porque no es la clase d e libro que me gusta y honestamente no sé porqué lo agarré en primer lugar.

Me gustaron bastante los cuentos que tenían más matiz de horror clásico como “La casa de Adela”, “El patio del vecino” y “Bajo el agua negra”, pero en general una buena colección de historias donde el verdadero horror es lo que voluntariamente no queremos ver. El abandono social, la desidia, el desdén a lo diferente, la pobreza, la impunidad, la misoginia y el sexismo, los prejuicios hacia las trastornos mentales y la discapacidad, la avaricia de los ricos, las oligarquías y las transnacionales. El verdadero miedo que da leer esto es que convivimos día a día con estos fantasmas que son nuestros líderes, jefes, vecinos, compañeros de trabajo y no hacemos nada para exorcisarnos.
