«Crímenes bestiales» is the short story collection by Patricia Highsmith, published by Planeta in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of stories in which animals subdued by abusive masters strike back with unexpected violence: dogs, goats, elephants and pigs become the executioners of their owners. Highsmith addresses injustice, moral ambiguity and the cruelty of human relationships, and brings the reader closer to the perspective of the beasts.
Originally published in 1975 as «The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder», the work is translated from English in this edition.
For readers of short crime and suspense fiction who appreciate a macabre touch.
Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist and short story writer widely known for her psychological thrillers, including her series of five novels featuring the character Tom Ripley. She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
