Sus novelas de mayor renombre son "Xanto, novelucha libre" (1994), "La ruta del hielo y la sal" (1998) y "Del cielo oscuro y del abismo" (2001), que forman una trilogía, llamada por el autor "Las fases del mito", sobre personajes icónicos de la cultura popular. En ellas el Santo (el luchador/superhéroe fílmico mexicano), el conde Drácula y Superman, respectivamente, son vistos desde la perspectiva que tendrían los habitantes de sus propios mundos ficticios. Entre sus libros de cuentos destaca "Hyperia" (1999), que toma elementos de muchas vertientes distintas de la ciencia ficción y se convierte en un panorama muy completo de los intereses del escritor y del estado del género fantástico a fines del siglo XX. ...more

Quotes by José Luis Zárate (?)

“Ice is for other beings, its rhythms and reasons beyond our ken, its starkness for alien eyes. The indifference of God, murmured by the world.”
― José Luis Zárate, The Route of Ice and Salt

“Before a blizzard, I should look upon the dark earth for what seemed the last time, before the punctillated pattern of white made it something else entirely. Such helplessness in seeing the warm, familiar, kindly autumn world swallowed bit by bit. On the deck of the Demeter, looking out upon the sea and the non-existent strigoi, I felt everything disappear under a snowfall that no one else perceived. Without yet knowing why, I was certain that, somehow, Winter had embarked with us.”
― José Luis Zárate, The Route of Ice and Salt

“Yet ... what if the last gift of light is the sight of something that belongs to naught but the night? What if death is more merciful than the appearance of whatever should come for our flesh?”
