About the author

Various

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Leí The Watchers en inglés y lo que más me gustó fue la originalidad con la que está narrada la historia. La autora utiliza una doble perspectiva que mantiene al lector intrigado a lo largo de toda la trama, logrando captar la atención desde el principio. La forma en que se desarrolla la historia es muy creativa, alternando entre los puntos de vista de los personajes de una manera que te hace reflexionar sobre los distintos ángulos de la misma situación.

Sin embargo, el final me dejó con un sabor agridulce. Aunque la historia tenía un buen ritmo, el desenlace se sintió apresurado, como si lo hubieran terminado rápidamente sin considerar las posibilidades de un cierre más impactante o profundo. A pesar de este detalle, sigue siendo una lectura interesante y recomendable para quienes disfrutan de relatos cortos con algún giro inesperado, y sobretodo una narrativa básica para familiarizarte con la lectura en inglés.
