Description
Gods Eating Flies
Book Summary
An anthology of short stories that explores the boundaries between obsession and fantasy, where the everyday is distorted until it becomes unsettling. Through prose that captivates the reader, authors Jorge Biarle, Sergio Perales, and Ernesto Sierra weave tales of confused men, the dead who believe they are alive, and the living who know they are dead. Each story is an immersive experience that challenges the perception of reality, inviting a literary journey where suffering and silence become tools for a unique narrative pleasure. A book that warns: do not start reading if you are not prepared to be wounded by the word.
What is it about?
The work is a collection of stories that traverse the genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, yet always from a psychological and existential perspective. The authors construct oppressive atmospheres where night, anger, and fury are the protagonists. The stories explore the confusion between life and death, the fragility of identity, and the thin line that separates reality from hallucination. Each story is a fragment of a universe where obsession becomes the engine for characters struggling against their own demons, in a setting where the light fades and the hallways empty, leaving the reader alone to face their fears.
