Los hijos del odio y otros cuentos de Weird Detectives
En este tercer volumen dedicado a las historias de detectives y de "Weird Menace" de Robert E. Howard (cuarto de nuestra colección criminal), ofrecemos algunas de las piezas truculentas, sádicas y escatológicas del autor de Cross Plains. A un lado del cuadrilátero, tendremos a recios detectives privados, armados con pistolas automáticas y anacrónicos cuchillos Bowie, o bien honrados hombres corrientes (si tal adjetivo puede aplicársele a un protagonista howardiano), dispuestos a luchar hasta la muerte por una buena causa. En el otro extremo, encontraremos a estranguladores hindúes, adoradores del diablo, caníbales de la sociedad leopardo y toda una variopinta ralea de sectarios y criminales exóticos, a cada cual más original y despiadado. El escenario: mansiones abandonadas, sitiadas por legiones de asesinos, regiones aisladas donde resulta imposible conseguir ayuda, o incluso las intrincadas calles del barrio chino (nuestro ya familiar River Street), donde tienen lugar las torturas más crueles, los peligros más insalvables y los combates más desesperados... ¿Adivinan quién los ganará?
