A new collection of gothic tales ranging from the magical to the terrifying, and from the personal to the downright nasty.
G irls that decide to be bad one summer end up destroying their friendship and their innocence; teenagers impregnated by octopuses; kids that decide to destroy what they don’t understand; a summer plagued by insects due to contamination, or perhaps witchcraft; flying nuns; far-right terrorist attacks; people hit by trains; a bigoted father that turns girls into monsters; weavers of women’s destinies; authors possessed by their typewriters; children that plan the perfect crime; friendships that end in disgrace; girls robbed of their identities; boys devoured by their own pig-headedness; anorexia and bulimia; Kurt Cobain, Kate Moss and Drew Barrymore.
A world of teens and children on the brink of adulthood. Fear, confusion, adventure and death reign in this thrilling throwback to the 80s and 90s.
Written by María Zaragoza and illustrated by Ana María Alcañiz, these stories for adults have few adult characters, show childhood to be the hostile, unsettling territory that it can be.
