El rencor vino del frío (The rancour came from the cold)
by Óscar Barrientos Bradasic
Description
In distant waters, exploring a toothed pedestal, Captain Drummer encounters an anthropomorphic mutant with tentacles. His face, however, is human, too human: “He looks a little like my uncle Victor.” This is the story of how Victor Colitis fits into society despite his anomaly. But that ugliness is moral, his resentment comes from the cold that incubated him and Victor cannot help becoming a poet who betrays the just causes.
In these ten tales the renowned Magellanic author Óscar Barrientos Bradasic plays in contrast with an elegant and careful writing, which raises stories of dark or pedestrian origin. Undefined creatures full of revolutionary ideologies, big or ridiculous scams, disguises of mythical animals or characters of Tolkien, adventures of corporeos and contaminated rivers that engender, bars that are refuge for the climate or fantastic sect of maritime worship; the southern end of the world is mysterious and trembling but also magical and full of tenderness.
