About the author
Israel Velázquez Ferrer
4 books15 followersI'm a puertorrican, located at Isabela.
All my life, I've loved movies and TV shows.
Since I started writing my first simple movie script (1987) -and then a more elaborate one (1990)- I dreamed of working in the film and television industry. But the "Back to the Future's" films motivated me to study engineering. Always hoping that one day my scripts would reach the big screen.
Many years passed and several scripts were written. But the opportunity to show them to the world never came up.
In 2004, I wrote Ratalcext's script. I was so excited. A read about this contest in which the first prize was to produce the winning script. I select the subject for my story. Wrote a summary. Designed the main characters and start writing. But as much as I tried, I couldn't finish it before the deadline. Frustrated, I printed the script for review just in case another competition showed up, but it didn't happen. So, I just locked the script away.
Years later, I tried to write a new story in 2010 and another in 2017, but due to multiple situations, the writer's block took over me and I couldn't complete them.
That same year (2017), I started watching anime and then, after the passage of Hurricane Maria and the absence of electricity, television and the internet; I decided to read the light novels of the anime that got my attention. I started reading "Sword Art Online" by Reki Kawahara.
As I searched the information about the author of these novels, I discovered that he went through a similar situation back in 2002. Getting his dream come true years later. Even today, his story continues to be produced and expanded. Such an achievement inspired me to pick up my stories and try again. That's when I decided to turn the Ratalcext's script into a manuscript and proceed with the publication.
The process wasn't easy, but little by little I was able to finish it.
My goal, give life to a dream that started in 1987, which coincidentally started with a haunted house dream, a "mini script" and a cassette recorder where, together with my sister, we recorded the voices of the characters in our living room and then listen to the final product.
How far can I go?
I don't know yet, but at least I'm satisfied and glad that finally someone else can appreciate them as much as I did.

¿Por qué pienso que es refrescante? a pesar que es un thriller de amor, desde el prólogo me saco risas. Me encantan los libros que me hagan reir aunque sea otro género y este libro lo logró. Esta escrito como si fuera un guión y te va describiendo paso a paso lo que hacen los personajes y te ayuda a crear tu mismo la escena. Los personajes me hicieron reir demasiado, me produjeron muchos sentimientos, desde risa hasta rabia. Aunque es largo, se lee super rápido y fácil, ya que esta dividido en capítulos, la letra es grande y tiene espacios. Me disfruté de sus aventuras y de cómo estan descritos los personajes.

Me gustó ya que era suspenso, humor y romance. En lo personal la ficción no me encantó pero está interesante.

Ratalcext: Sueño Mortal
Israel Velázquez has a remarkable ingenuity to merge with subtlety several genera of literature in one book, which is amazingly hard to accomplish without interrupting the flow of the narrative. Few writers can take you on a journey as intricate as this one. The normalcy of everyday life gets convoluted with dark comedic undertones. The book tells of desires so intense that rational thinking often is ignored, leaving the doors open to developing obsessive, almost neurotic tendencies. “Ratalcext” It’s an exceptionally well-balanced story that deals with themes and their opposite, such as witchery and skepticism, infidelity and faithfulness, vengeance and punishment. Although it is a mixed love story with unbelievable twists, the characters feel real—an amazingly well-written book.

¿Cuántos han visto la película “Obsessed”?
Si la viste y te gustó, este libro tambien te gustará. Tiene ese personaje que se obsesiona y hace todo por su objetivo. Lo categorizaría como un libro de drama/suspenso con un toque de romance, un toque de humor que hace que la lectura se vuelva entretenida. Tiene tambien fantasía. Aunque se ve largo, es fácil de leer.
Odiarás a varios personajes, te subirá la presión, discutirás, te reirá e incluso te confundirás. El autor logró hacerme enojar al nivel de pelear y preguntarme si de verdad pueden existir personas como los personajes del libro.
Incluso ¡hay hasta asesinatos! Tienen que leerlo.
Recomendación: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

“Ratalcext” es un thriller fascinante y perturbador que sumerge al lector en un mundo donde lo real roza lo imposible y cada detalle esconde un misterio mayor. Israel Velázquez Ferrer combina con maestría el suspenso, la intriga psicológica y lo surrealista para crear una historia que atrapa desde el inicio. Con puertas crípticas, mentes retorcidas y un asesino en una pequeña comunidad, esta obra mantiene la tensión hasta un final tan sorprendente como impactante. Una lectura imprescindible para quienes disfrutan de misterios oscuros y giros inesperados.

Casi 40 páginas y no pasaba nada, no logró engancharme. Cada vez que comenzaba a leer sentia que me aburria y lo dejaba, pensaba que no era el mejor momento. Hoy decidi sentarme y leerlo de una vez y no pude. Sorry pero este libro no es para mi, lo abandoné.

La historia fue algo nuevo a lo que no estoy acostumbrada y debo admitir que me gusto muchísimo. Tuve muchos momentos de querer pelearle a todo el mundo de la tensión que me ponían 😂😂 Eso si me personaje favorito fue Darío jajajaja.
