«Fantasmas del invierno» is the novel by Luis Mateo Díez, published by Alfaguara in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
In a postwar winter, snow covers the city and wolves draw near while a boy is found murdered in the hospice. A clandestine radio station comments with black humor. Franco visits the city, but a secret buries the inhabitants' conscience. A metaphorical and dreamlike novel about the Spanish postwar period as a dark legend.
The novel was published in 2004 in Alfaguara's Hispánica collection. The book's author, Luis Mateo Díez, won the Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas 2020.
Suitable for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and historical fiction, especially those interested in the Spanish postwar period.
