Los mejores cuentos de enigmas asombrosos
La Real Academia Española nos dice que la palabra Enigma significa «Realidad que no se alcanza a comprender, o que difícilmente puede entenderse o interpretarse». Justo eso es lo que ocurre con esta serie de cuentos que tienes en tus siempre hay un cabo suelto que hace que no acabemos de entender por qué suceden las cosas que suceden. Algo no concuerda, algo falta... Hay pequeñas piezas de este puzle que no terminamos de encontrar o que simplemente no encajan de la manera que deberían. No somos capaces ―como lectores― de completar el cuadro a las primeras de cambio y eso nos hace poner toda la atención en la narración. Nos intriga hasta el más mínimo detalle, nos envuelve la atmósfera cargada de misterio, lo que nos lleva a desear con todas nuestras fuerzas conocer el final de un relato que sin duda no dejará de asombrarnos...

About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
5,930 books19.1k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
