| Synopsis | For a time I lived near the pyramids of the Templo Mayor. I walked every day through the streets of the Historic Center, paying attention to the signs. I am convinced that Mexico City wants to tell me stories, and that destiny is palpable in the stories of Mar Negro: the most emblematic building on the Eje Central called upon its different avatars in "Torre Latino", the eternal FOR RENT sign on an old building made me imagine the secret history of the city in "Like two drops of water falling into the sea"; a helpless neighbor and his suspicious attitude led me to invent a double life for him in "The Blind Man"; the Plaza de las Tres Culturas and its bloody past suggested a just revenge, in zombie style, in "The Other Night of Tlatelolco". Apart from my obsession with the place that once housed the Great Tenochtitlán, there is much more in these pages. Mutant creatures that thrive in the shelter of the Bacalar lagoon; A pair of twins connected to Neil Armstrong and the dark side of the Moon; a woman determined to revive her dead lover at any cost; a collector of haunted dolls who receives a mysterious gift; and a vampire who escapes from his grave in the Bulgarian town of Sozopol. This last reference to the Black Sea represents for me the spirit of the book: a state of the soul where the supernatural is possible. An extension that, above all, is located within the mind; in the superstitions and abysses created by the imagination. To understand it, it is necessary to swim in the depths of these waters. Bernardo Esquinca. |
