Seis relatos violentos de autores mexicanos: Alberto Chimal, Erika Mergruen, Yuri Herrera, Isaí Moreno, Úrsula Fuentesberain, Lorea Canales "En cada una de las historias prevalece la originalidad y el gozo de la escritura, rasgos que distinguen a los autores, pero también está presente la violencia, móvil de cada uno de los relatos y que fue la consigna bajo la cual mi amigo Omar Villasana –compilador de la edición– convocó a los narradores... Esta misma antología se publicará como e-book, término al que todavía no me acostumbro pero me llena de alegría al saber que circulará de web en web y miles de internautas disfrutarán más allá de las fronteras, algo tan necesario en los tiempos actuales cuando algunos se afanan por levantar muros y cerrar puertas." Elena Poniatowska Amor Six violent short stories from mexican authors: Alberto Chimal, Erika Mergruen, Yuri Herrera, Isaí Moreno, Úrsula Fuentesberain, Lorea Canales "Originality and the joy of writing abound in these stories, features that define each of these writers. Also present is violence, the thread that runs through each of these stories and serves as the watchword around which my friend Omar Villasana—the editor of this edition—has brought together each of these authors... This anthology will also be published as an e-book, a term to which I am still not accustomed but one that fills me with joy, knowing that it will circulate from web to web and that thousands of Internet users will be able to enjoy beyond the confines of physical borders, something so necessary in modern times when there are those who strive to build walls and close doors." Elena Poniatowska Amor

The Most Fragile Objects

¿Habrá algo peor que morirse? ¿Qué tal vagar como fantasma en el último lugar donde estuviste con vida, por toda la eternidad, sin posibilidad de salir de ahí?&nbsp;Ése parece ser el triste&nbsp;destino&nbsp;de Isabel, una niña que tiene más de sesenta años atrapada en un edificio de oficinas, y de la que todo mundo huye. Ella ya está resignada a ser la típica "niña que se aparece en las noches" (aunque en realidad la pueden ver a cualquier hora), hasta que un día se topa con Carmen y René, dos amigos (aunque no lo parecen) aficionados a las&nbsp;historias de terror. Y para mayor sorpresa, los tres descubrirán que hay otro edificio cerca de ahí, con otras dos&nbsp;niñas fantasma&nbsp;atrapadas. ¿Será coincidencia o habrá algo más detrás de ello? ¿Por qué sólo hay niñas fantasma? ¿Existirá alguna manera de ayudarlas para que dejen de ser&nbsp;almas en pena? ¿Tal vez presentar un oficio por triplicado? ¿Pero a quién? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION How would you like to wander as a ghost in the last place where you were alive, for all eternity, with no possibility of getting out of there? That seems to be Isabel's sad fate, a girl who has been trapped in an office building for over seventy years, and from whom everyone runs away. She has already accepted the fact that she will forever be the typical "girl who appears at night" (although in reality they can see her at any time), until one day she runs into Carmen and René, two friends (although they don't seem like it) who are fond of horror stories. And to their surprise, the three of them discover that there is another building nearby with two other ghost girls trapped inside. Could it just be coincidence or is there something else behind it? Why are there only girl ghosts? Is there any way to help them to stop being wandering souls? Maybefile a petition times three? But to whom?
