Stories such as «El hombre de la arena», «La casa vacía» and «Los autómatas» show Hoffmann's fascination with the supernatural and create unsettling atmospheres in which reality becomes uncertain.

For readers of classic tales who appreciate fantastic literature, mystery and German Romanticism.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann was a German Romantic author of fantasy and gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist. His short story "The Sandman" is seen as a pioneering work of horror fiction, while his novella Mademoiselle de Scuderi is regarded as one of the earliest examples of crime fiction.
