Los muertos nos asustan, pues un día nosotros estaremos muertos igual que ellos. La oscuridad nos asusta, pues no sabemos lo que nos espera en la oscuridad. Por la noche, el sonido del crujir de las hojas, o de las ramas azotadas por el viento, o alguien susurrando, nos hace sentir incómodos. Lo mismo ocurre cuando oímos pasos acercarse, o cuando creemos ver figuras extrañas en las sombras: tal vez un ser humano o un animal grande, o algo horrible que apenas podemos distinguir. Hoy en día la mayoría de la gente dice que no cree en los fantasmas y los fenómenos extraños. Sin embargo, todavía temen a los muertos y a la oscuridad. Y todavía ven al hombre del saco aguardando entre las sombras. Y todavía cuentan historias de miedo, como se ha hecho siempre.

En esta colección de tres volúmenes, se recogen historias del folklore popular norteamericano. Una serie de narraciones que han tenido un gran éxito durante años en todo el mundo, ilustradas por el reputado artista Brett Helquist. Guillermo del Toro anunció que se encuentra trabajando en una adaptación a la pantalla grande. "Los primeros colonos norteamericanos solían entretenerse contando historias de miedo. Se reunían al anochecer en alguna cabaña, o alrededor de un fuego, y competían para demostrar quién era capaz de asustar más. Algunas chicas y chicos hacen lo mismo hoy día. Se reúnen en la casa de alguien, apagan las luces, comen palomitas de maíz, y se pegan unos sustos de muerte. Contar historias de miedo es algo que la gente ha hecho durante miles de años, y a la mayoría de nosotros nos gusta que nos asusten de esa manera. Algunas de estas leyendas son muy antiguas, y se cuentan en diversas partes del mundo. Y la mayoría de ellas tienen el mismo origen. Se basan en hechos que las personas vieron o escucharon o experimentaron, o que al menos piensan que así fue." Alvin Schwartz

A profound investigation into the shifting nature of identity and reality • Looks at the ways thought is embodied and how it takes on a life of its own • Shows how Superman, an archetype of popular culture, is a perfect example of the nonlocality of quantum physics Writer Alvin Schwartz received a great deal of attention from fans when he began talking publicly about his seventeen-year stint writing Superman and Batman comics. One of the individuals who contacted him was no ordinary fan, but a seven-foot Buddhist monk named Thongden, a tulpa or individual who was thought into being by a Tibetan mystic. Thongden put Alvin Schwartz on the path without form, an amazing journey he took in the company of Hawaiian kahunas, quantum physicists, and superheroes. Superman, as it turns out, is also a tulpa, a being created by thought that takes on a life of its own and, in Mr. Schwartz’s words, is an archetype expressing the sense of nonlocality that is always present in the back of our minds--that capacity to be everywhere instantly. Superman is one of the specific forms that embodies our reality when we’re at our highest point, when we’re truly impermeable, indestructible, totally concentrated, and living entirely in the now, a condition each of us actually attains from time to time. Alvin Schwartz’s story is a personal journey through a lifelong remembrance of synchrony, inspiration, accident, and magic. As it unfolds it puts into vivid clarity the saving grace that inhabits every moment of our lives. The author travels as a stranger in a strange land, whose greatest oddity is that this land is our own.

The Blowtop was the only American novel to reveal in exquisite detail how brutally the years immediately following the horrors of World War II reshaped the gentle Bohemian art world that preceded the war. Written in 1946, a year before Camus'' uncannily similar L''Etrangere, The Blowtop was not published until 1948 because of its unsparing revelations of a destructive and deadly art style. In the end, it was finally released in a mystery jacket. Soon after, The Blowtop became a cult book especially at Columbia University. In the spring of 1948 it was claimed that it sparked the Beat movement which presumably emerged out of discussions of a new art approach among students at Columbia, including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsburg. Two years later, The Blowtop was taken up in Paris by followers of Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, whose excitement turned it into a best seller, where in 1950 it appeared under the title Le Cingle, published by Les Editions de L''Elan. The Blowtop opens in a Sheridan Street bar in the Village with the apparently pointless killing of a small-time marijuana dealer and slowly introduces the reader to the effect of this murder on a variety of Village types, artists, writers, barflies, academics and their various loves as it gradually uncovers the sources of an art movement that was to sweep the world with names like Jackson Pollock, Willem deKooning, and Hans Hofman. The purpose of their apparently nihilistic efforts was to get at the things that were left over -- that sense of value and spirit in the world that a war culminating in the atomic bomb had so thoroughly blasted away. It was this desperate effort to rediscover the things that matter through death, through sex, through art that challenges and enlightens the reader on every page of this revealing and powerful novel

Seven stories from folklore.
