An anthology of short stories written by Cristina Fernández Cubas, one of the most prominent Spanish short fiction authors, whose work encompasses three decades, from the Post-Franco 80’s to the present. This anthology compiles her five published books: Mi hermana Elba, Los altillos de Brumal, El ángulo del horror, Con Agatha en Estambul, and Parientes pobres del diablo. It also includes an unpublished short story, "El faro (The Lighthouse)" which continues an unfinished short story by Edgar Allan Poe of the same title. Her stories, tinged with an intense and precise prose, seamlessly integrate unexpected and mysterious elements into the account of everyday life. Some of her short stories have been translated into English and published in journals.
