Narracions estranyes
About This Book
A collection of short, uncanny narratives told mainly in the first person that entwine everyday rural life with popular superstition and religious ritual. One strand follows a young man confronting military conscription who consults a local diviner and is instructed to perform a macabre rite—obtaining a bone from a cemetery and placing it before a household saint while praying a novena—which leads to a tense nocturnal theft. Other pieces present odd encounters, petty deceptions, and moral unease, moving between eerie incidents and quiet reflections on fear, desire, and social expectation.
