Viento rojo: Red Wind
by Raymond ChandlerUn detective sin escrúpulos en una sociedad dominada por la corrupción. «Soplaba viento del desierto aquella noche». Así empieza el relato que mejor ejemplifica el estilo de Raymond Chandler, uno de los autores norteamericanos más reconocidos de novela negra. En Viento rojo, publicado por primera vez en 1938, un sarcástico detective es testigo de un asesinato en una coctelería, y se verá obligado a intentar descifrar el misterio tras el crimen y, en el proceso, ayudar a la misteriosa mujer que la víctima buscaba. A través de sus relatos, que publicaba en las revistas conocidas como pulp fiction, Chandler se propuso infundir calidad a las narraciones detectivescas, reivindicando un mayor realismo en este tipo de narraciones. Además, las obras de este autor destacan por ser una clara denuncia social. Con diálogos rápidos e irónicos, consigue hacer un duro retrato de la sociedad norteamericana tras la Gran Depresión, cuando las ciudades parecían estar dominadas por mafiosos y policías corruptos.

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction
by Melanie R. Anderson Lisa KrögerMeet the women writers who defied convention to craft some of literature’s strangest tales, from Frankenstein to The Haunting of Hill House and beyond. Frankenstein was just the beginning: horror stories and other weird fiction wouldn’t exist without the women who created it. From Gothic ghost stories to psychological horror to science fiction, women have been primary architects of speculative literature of all sorts. And their own life stories are as intriguing as their fiction. Everyone knows about Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein, who was rumored to keep her late husband’s heart in her desk drawer. But have you heard of Margaret “Mad Madge” Cavendish, who wrote a science-fiction epic 150 years earlier (and liked to wear topless gowns to the theater)? If you know the astounding work of Shirley Jackson, whose novel The Haunting of Hill House was reinvented as a Netflix series, then try the psychological hauntings of Violet Paget, who was openly involved in long-term romantic relationships with women in the Victorian era. You’ll meet celebrated icons (Ann Radcliffe, V. C. Andrews), forgotten wordsmiths (Eli Colter, Ruby Jean Jensen), and today’s vanguard (Helen Oyeyemi). Curated reading lists point you to their most spine-chilling tales.Part biography, part reader’s guide, the engaging write-ups and detailed reading lists will introduce you to more than a hundred authors and over two hundred of their mysterious and spooky novels, novellas, and stories.
