About the Book So here it is. An invitation to surprise, to admiration. Those are, among many other things, the stories of Doa Emilia Pardo Bazn. If youve never read them before, I envy you. You are about to have a real feast of real literature. Ladies, gentlemen: come and read. This is how Care Santos presents, in the prologue of this edition, the volume that brings together ten horror stories by Doa Emilia. Indeed, in addition to essays, travel books, lyrics, translations, her correspondence and, of course, her more than famous work, the Galician writer was also the author of a long list of short horror stories that compile a good part of the fantastic Galician imaginary.
