«Casas sin puertas» is a collection of horror stories by Peter Straub, published by Ediciones B in hardcover (376 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together tales that move between horror and the uncanny: short pieces like «La lectura de poesía» coexist with longer stories like «El cazador de búfalos». In them, everyday life is crossed by hidden worlds, obsessions, and disturbing encounters that Straub turns into narrative material.
Translation by M. Magdalena Ferrer of the original «Houses without doors», published in 1990. The work was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Collection.
For readers of horror and suspense who prefer short stories with an unsettling atmosphere.
Peter Francis Straub was an American novelist and poet. He had success with several horror and supernatural fiction novels, among them Julia (1975), Ghost Story (1979) and The Talisman (1984), the latter co-written with Stephen King. He explored the mystery genre with the Blue Rose trilogy, consisting of Koko (1988), Mystery (1990) and The Throat (1993). He fused the supernatural with crime fiction in Lost Boy, Lost Girl (2003) and the related In the Night Room (2004). For the Library of America, he edited the volume H. P. Lovecraft: Tales and the anthology American Fantastic Tales. Straub received such literary honors as the Bram Stoker Award, World Fantasy Award, and International Horror Guild Award.
