Different Kinds of Dead.
Night-Side.

This was very decent on the whole. The beginning was a fantastic flowery mess and the prose very hard to follow sometimes; for a moment I thought this was going to be yet another skimmable story but as the story progressed it became quite gripping and increasingly easier to read. The ending was kind of a letdown, but still good. That strongbox though.

My first Carol Oates, and hopefully not my last. Looking forward to reading more of her someday.

RTC, laterz.

???????? The Dark Descent

Diferentes tipos de muertos.
Lado Nocturno.

Esto fue bastante decente en general. El comienzo fue un fantástico desastre florido y la prosa a veces era muy difícil de seguir; por un momento pensé que ésta iba a ser otra historia más que saltear, pero a medida que la trama avanza se vuelve bastante atrapante y mucho más fácil de leer. El final fue medio decepcionante, pero igual bueno. Pero esa caja fuerte!

Mi primer Carol Oates y ojalá no la última. Espero leer más de ella algún día.

RTC, luegos.
