Sangre en el ojo
by Lina Meruane-Pero entonces, y si todo amor que no sea absolutamente incondicional, ?Te amo sobre todas las cosas?, no es verdadero amor, este libro no es una novela de amor. -Pues no, ni lo es ni podría serlo, pues el amor, en cuanto movimiento inefable e ininteligible, no puede ser fundamento para una novela que se quiera inteligente. -¿Son incompatibles por tanto el amor y las buenas novelas? -En efecto, amor mío: en la vida lo inexplicable ocupa un lugar siempre sobresaliente aunque difícil de ponderar, pero en las novelas todo motivo, causa o motor de la acción e interrelación entre personajes debe ser inteligible, pues solo a partir de lo argumentable se puede construir y desarrollar un argumento narrativo. Que no tanto del amor sino de lo inesperado es de lo que trata esta novela. De la enfermedad y sus metáforas, que diría Susan Sontag. -Pero el amor provoca también sus propias injurias: el abandono, el daño, los celos, la avaricia, el odio, la indiferencia. -De ahí, quizá, este título tan cruento. Aviso de que no es ciego el amor de que aquí se narra.

Sangue di Licantropo
by Vianka Van Bokkem Lidia PedìoQuando avevo tredici anni, la Bulgaria fu colpita da una letale epidemia di peste e gli esseri umani cominciarono a morire uno dopo l'altro in tutto il paese. Io e mia sorella Nerina, che allora aveva quindici anni, non fummo infettate perché siamo vampiri. I sopravvissuti chiesero asilo nei paesi vicini ed io e mia sorella non avemmo più esseri umani con cui alimentarci. Una notte, mentre andavamo a caccia di orsi bruni, ci imbattemmo in un lupo mannaro intento a sbranare un sciacallo dorato. Cercammo di ignorarlo e di continuare la nostra caccia ma lui, per difendere il proprio territorio, ci ringhiò contro in segno di sfida. Io e Nerina ci fermammo e lo guardammo. Mia sorella accettò la sfida e, in men che non si dica, i due si ritrovarono a lottare per terra. Stavo accorrendo ad aiutarla, ma lei riuscì a bloccargli il collo e cominciò a succhiargli il sangue. Mi guardò e mi fece un cenno con la mano per farmi avvicinare. Non appena fui abbastanza vicina al lupo mannaro, affondai le zanne nel suo collo taurino e cominciai anch'io a nutrirmi di lui... Il suo sangue era molto più saporito del sangue umano. E fu così che, quella notte, cominciammo ad apprezzare il sangue dei licantropi.
