Sumérgete en una colección de cuentos que exploran los archivos del cine, el arte y el subconsciente. Acompaña a una joven Lizzie Borden en su visita al circo, presencia el pacto faustiano de un pianista en un burdel sureño y observa a una transfigurada María Magdalena emerger de los lienzos de Donatello y de la Tour. Esta edición ofrece una mirada fascinante a través de la lente única de Angela Carter, explorando temas de identidad, historia y la condición humana con su estilo característico y provocador.
