Description

Now in its second instalment, this series focuses on books with atmospheric qualities that are dark and sinister - but not without hope. Their protagonists, some with profoundly flawed personalities, have something of the romantic optimist about them; men and women driven to face moral challenges and to do battle with the forces of evil or plain banality. Features a riveting roll-call of authors, including Diego R. Barbosa (of the acclaimed Novela Ideal series, published by La Revista Blanca), Stig Dagerman, Andre Helena, Leo Malet and Simon Weil.
