Reviews

[Luis Eduardo · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una colección de siete relatos cortos de calidad muy heterogénea. Dos de ellos, el de Bradbury y el de Sturgeon, destacan notoriamente. Otros dos, "La bruja en la niebla" y "La isla del durmiente", son meramente entretenidos. Los demás cuentos te los puedes saltar.
