Robert Silverberg is a highly celebrated American science fiction author and editor known for his prolific output and literary range. Over a career spanning decades, he has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2004. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, Silverberg is recognized for both his immense productivity and his contributions to the genre's evolution.
Born in Brooklyn, he began writing in his teens and won his first Hugo Award in 1956 as the best new writer. Throughout the 1950s, he produced vast amounts of fiction, often under pseudonyms, and was known for writing up to a million words a year. When the market declined, he diversified into other genres, including historical nonfiction and erotica.
Silverberg’s return to science fiction in the 1960s marked a shift toward deeper psychological and literary themes, contributing significantly to the New Wave movement. Acclaimed works from this period include Downward to the Earth, Dying Inside, Nightwings, and The World Inside. In the 1980s, he launched the Majipoor series with Lord Valentine’s Castle, creating one of the most imaginative planetary settings in science fiction.
Though he announced his retirement from writing in the mid-1970s, Silverberg returned with renewed vigor and continued to publish acclaimed fiction into the 1990s. He received further recognition with the Nebula-winning Sailing to Byzantium and the Hugo-winning Gilgamesh in the Outback.
Silverberg has also played a significant role as an editor and anthologist, shaping science fiction literature through both his own work and his influence on others. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, author Karen Haber.

Buenas historias de buenos autores, aunque no son de lo mejor. Libro recomendado como curiosidad si te gustan los mundos creados por estos autores como Ursula K. Le Guin (Terramar), Terry Pratchett (Mundodisco) o George R. R. Martin (Poniente).

Las compilaciones de relatos de diferentes autores de un género pueden ser muy desiguales, pero algunas logran alcanzar un nivel sencillamente brillante, como este Leyendas Negras, editado por Robert Silverberg y que reune relatos originales de verdaderos gigantes del género fantástico: Pratchett, Le Guin, G. R. R. Martin, Tad williams o él mismo.
Relatos de alto nivel que retoman los trabajos más famosos de estos autores.
La recopilación consta de dos volúmenes, de los que de momento he podido terminar el primero; con muchas ganas de devorar el segundo.

En general no está mal. De terror no tiene nada de nada: todos los relatos son de fantasía, como mucho un pelín misteriosos.
Algunos de los relatos son geniales, como el de "El caballero errante" de George RR Martin y un gran descubrimiento, "El hombre en llamas" de Tad Williams, que me ha impresionado. Ursula K Leguin nunca decepciona; el de Terry Pratchett no destacaba mucho. Los demás me han aburrido o no han llegado a la suela de los zapatos a sus compañeros de recopilación.
