Instrucciones para la catástrofe
by Guillermo Fajardo
Description
These short stories are a catalog of the ways in which we inhabit our hells. A Pontius Pilate punished by a vengeful God, a detective who seeks justice at all costs, communities ravaged by cannibalism and violence, secret societies that find pleasure in torturing animals. With a refined and lively language, the characters in these stories are left broken amid the ashes left by their own destiny. Guillermo Fajardo summons a multitude of specters that, wrapped in their shadows, are a constant reminder of their failures. Driven by curiosity and a sense of survival, these lives have lost their purpose. The reader will have to show them the way.
