About Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte
This book includes eighteen short stories, with subjects ranging from gothic horror (“La gallina degollada”), to inappropriate relationships (“Una estación de amor”, “La muerte de Isolda”), addiction (“El infierno artificial”), and an unforgiving nature (“La miel silvestre”, “Yaguaí”). Quiroga’s prose oscillates between a concise, rational style, and decadent, ostentatious sentences, a constant homage to his Romantic forefathers.
