George R. Martin, ganador de un premio Nébula y tres Hugo por sus obras de ciencia ficción, nos presenta en esta antología una selección de sus mejores relatos de terror, que atrapan irremediable y fatalmente al lector desde la primera frase. Evidenciando su gran maestría para atemorizar, nos traslada desde el corazón ardiente de un ghetto de gran ciudad al gélido espacio interestelar. Junto a relatos de terror contemporáneo y futurístico, encontramos otros de terror puro, como "El tratamiento del mono", que oscila entre el miedo aterrador y el cómico; un obeso que desea ser delgado, sigue un insólito tratamiento... "Los reyes de la arena" añade al terror unos componentes de ciencia ficción: en el futuro lejano de un mundo show more remoto, un excéntrico millonario se divierte haciendo guerrear entre sí unas colonias de insectos de las que él es el dios. Pero los insectos empiezan a actuar por su cuenta... Pero hay más... Modernos ladrones de cadáveres que operan en Chicago; un mundo poblado por gusanos gigantescos y por razas degeneradas; la exótica araña de los sueños... show less
