If the police solve any of those brutal, apparently random, murders, Denver's more patrician lycanthropes may wind up in big trouble.

Caperucita y otros relatos vascos de terror

Mikel Rodríguez ensayó en Sacamantecas y otros relatos vascos de terror un cruce entre el género fantástico ?muy particularmente tal y como lo entendió H. P. Lovecraft? y la tradición vasca más truculenta y esotérica. Aquel experimento, que se saldó con notable éxito, tiene continuidad en los ocho relatos que constituyen el presente volumen, entre los que se encuentran, además de Caperucita, que le da título, otros como La reina de Navarra debe morir, En el viejo internado de Lekaroz o Cartas marcadas. El autor se sirve de su condición de historiador para ambientar sus tramas con absoluta verosimilitud en el tiempo y en el espacio, ya sea en el siglo V, durante una incursión de los suevos en el valle de Baztan; en el XVI, en la refi nada corte navarra de Pau o en la cubierta de la legendaria carabela San Lesmes rumbo al Pacífi co; en la Nueva Orleans de piel negra del XIX o en la Guinea colonial de las primeras décadas del XX. Asimismo, los relatos están transitados por personajes históricos, tales como la reina Juana de Navarra, la guerrillera Martina Ibaibarriaga, el escritor Joannes Leizarraga, el espía Sebastián de Arbizu, el corsario Jean Lafi tte o el explorador Manuel Iradier. Rodríguez vuelve a aportar con este volumen un apreciable caudal, fresco y renovador, a una corriente literaria, la del género fantástico y de terror, que, aunque quizá no afl ore con excesiva frecuencia, fl uye desde lo más profundo de la tradición y la historia vascas.
