The Book of Gods — Bernardo Esquinca

What kind of person lets a monster lull them to sleep? In this collection of short stories – the most extensive and ambitious its author has undertaken to date – there are questions that will threaten the sanity of those who delve into its pages.

Whether in the mysterious message engraved on the skin of a whale, in the tragedies predicted in the oil paintings of an eccentric painter, in the strange and hypnotic music emanating from a baby's chair, or in the terrorism exerted by an ecological group that worships the god Pan, Bernardo Esquinca knows where to dig to find the precise point where fantasy and horror converge. Without a doubt, this collection will intensely alert the senses of those readers who lost sleep with the stories of The Terror Trilogy and those who have been left breathless by the mysteries of the Casasola Saga.

Furthermore, "The Book of the Gods" presents a notable expansion of the boundaries of Bernardo Esquinca's personal universe; the renewal of an entire imagery of the sinister. Thanks to the simple premise of this volume, the permanence of ancient gods in skeptical urban modernity, the reader can be sure that in these pages they will find the material for their future nightmares.
