By implementing the principles of canonical creation aimed at defining various keys to reading the fantasy genre, particularly Ibero-American horror, this book represents a cartography of fears and obsessions distributed geographically in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Quito, Barcelona, Madrid, Lima, Mexico City, Havana, etc.
"An excellent anthology where we will find major themes present in King's work: fear of the dark, illness, loss of loved ones, and religious fanaticism, among others."
"This book confirms the idea of variety: an evil doppelganger, demons harassing innocent girls, cannibalism, madness, black humor...
"The book pays homage with stories that traverse the thematic spectrum of Stephen King, as well as presenting a particular cartography of fears and obsessions."
"The interesting thing is to see the full spectrum, to see the map of the terrors and obsessions of Hispano-American authors today, clearly inherited from Stephen King."
"In this book, 18 writers demonstrate that terror is universal, that it can be written from anywhere in the world - Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, among other countries - without losing the power of the genre."
Inspired by the North American writer, the stories gate crash meetings of psychiatric patients, discover supernatural beings infiltrating Latin American military movements, narrate spontaneous experiments in quantum physics and present obscure characters, such as evil doppelgangers or demons that stalk innocent children.
