The Empty Mirror: A Novel
by James Lincoln CollierNick Hodges had always been a troublesome boy. Growing up an orphan in his Uncle Jack's care in a small New England town wasn't easy. Everyone was a little wary, a little watchful--a little too watchful. One day, while Nick is walking in the woods, a neighbor thinks she sees him miles from where he actually is. Soon a series of events reinforcing Nick's hotheaded reputation unfold. The incidents become increasingly serious until, finally, Nick is the scapegoat for a much more sinister crime, one that he wouldn't even think of committing. As he uncovers history of the town's influenza epidemic, and as he observes a strange occurrence in the graveyard, Nick begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is happening. And when he sees a figure running in the woods wearing the mirror image of his own shirt, Nick starts to piece together some of the answers--answers no one could have imagined. James Lincoln Collier has written a haunting story of a boy and his reflection--and what happens when two souls want to inhabit the same living body.

En el castillo de Argol (Siruela Bolsillo Ser. #Vol. 58)
by Julien GracqEl castillo se alzaba en la extremidad de un espolon rocoso. Espesas masas de helechos de la altura de un hombre bordeaban el sendero. Cuando el joven Albert, ultimo vastago de una familia noble y rica, rebaso la puerta, ya el destino habia dispuesto el juego perverso que culminaria en un triangulo sobrecogedor. Pronto, un mensaje le anuncia la llegada de su amigo Hermenien, angel negro y fraterno, y de Heide, mujer de belleza radiante, a la vez infernal y divina. Es esta una novela gotica que respeta las convenciones del genero y las trasciende. El mito de la Caida, la doble naturaleza de cualquier salvador -"la mano que inflige la herida es tambien la mano que la cura"- estan presentes en una historia que el autor quiere version demoniaca -y por ello, nos avisa, perfectamente autorizada- de Parsifal. Escrita con una sintaxis milagrosa, se diria que bajo cada pagina, como bajo el rostro de Heide, pasa "la luz constantemente arrastrada por invisibles y traslucidos bajeles. "

Mi hábitat natural es cerca de una fogata y exhalo palabras de la misma manera en la que algunos hombres fuman. He vivido cerca del océano por casi cuatro décadas.
