Detetives do Sobrenatural: Contos Fantásticos de Mistério

Rate this book
Os detetives do sobrenatural não se interessam por assassinatos ou roubos praticados por criminosos comuns. Eles investigam as manifestações do mundo sobrenatural dentro do nosso: casas mal-assombradas, fantasmas, poltergeists, desaparecimentos inexplicáveis, aparições de criaturas fantásticas. Suas armas principais são, como no caso de outros detetives, a observação, a dedução, o interrogatório dos suspeitos e das testemunhas; mas o seu objetivo é determinar se existem forças ocultas em ação.

Com ilustrações de Romero Cavalcanti, esta antologia reúne contos de alguns dos principais autores que se aventuraram na investigação do fantástico. De Arthur Machen (1895) a Neil Gaiman (2003), eles mostram que, mesmo no sobrenatural, tudo acontece de acordo com um plano – e dão aos seus detetives a difícil tarefa de desvendá-lo.

I loved this anthology. Prolific, intriguing and subversive stories from all periods and settings. While all are good and some are great and a select few are amazing (Neil Gailman’s A Study in Emerald and The Caress from Greg Egan) none of them are particularly bad, which is surprising for an anthology.
Highly recommend for detective fiction fans and for educational purposes as well since the editor gave brief descriptions and backgrounds for all the authors and works which those short stories are part of. If you’re a fan of the supernatural you’re in for a treat. Also, as of now this book has been only published in Portuguese.
