La colección de historias de terror más importante del siglo XX. Versión actualizada de Dark Carnival, el primer libro de Ray Bradbury, con diecinueve historias sorprendentes, inolvidables y atemporales que han ejercido una gran influencia en toda una generación de escritores.
«El país de octubre… donde siempre está haciéndose tarde. El país donde las colinas son niebla y los ríos neblina; donde el mediodía pasa rápidamente, donde se demoran la oscuridad y el crepúsculo, y la medianoche no se mueve. El país que es principalmente sótanos, subsótanos, carboneras, armarios, altillos y despensas alejadas del sol. El país que habitan gentes de otoño, que sólo tienen pensamientos otoñales. Gentes que pasan por las aceras desiertas con un sonido de lluvia…».

Work Description
"The October Country is many places: a picturesque Mexican village where death is a tourist attraction; a city beneath the city where drowned lovers are silently reunited; a carnival midway where a tiny man's most cherished fantasy can be fulfilled night after night. Each of the stories in Ray Bradbury's masterful collection is a wonder, imagined by an acclaimed tale-teller writing from a place of shadows. But there is astonishing beauty here as well, born from a prose that enchants and enthralls, that chills like a long-after-midnight wind, that lifts the reader high above a sleeping Earth on strange wings."--P. [4] of cover.
