As historias de terror teñen o efecto de remover nos seres humanos os medos atávicos que a civilización tenta ocultar baixo a aparencia da razón, a ciencia e o control. Mais todos sabemos da existencia de feitos que contradín toda lóxica, de realidades que fan abanear as nosas crenzas, por moito que pechemos os ollos e nos neguemos a admitilas. Nas páxinas deste libro, Agustín Fernández Paz mergúllanos en seis historias que traspasan «as fronteiras do medo».

Hai veces na vida dalgunhas persoas en que de súpeto ocorre algo que o cambia todo. O medo. Medo a vivir. Medo a non soportar a vida. Medo a ter que facelo. Medo a non saber como. Medo ao medo. Esta historia trata dunha desas persoas. Tamén trata dos celos. Os celos destrúennos por dentro. Ás veces tamén por fóra. Os celos destrúen todo. E sempre pagamos por eles un prezo moi alto. Coma Éric, coma Xenia, coma Hugo. Porque aprender a vivir nunca é fácil.

Hai persoas que espertan tanta fascinación como rexeitamento, que te atraen coma un imán e á vez bótante para atrás porque algo che di que é mellor apartarse delas. Esta é a historia dunha desas persoas. Chámase Ben, e se cadra xa oíches falar del. De feito, esta historia comeza nun funeral. O morto non chegaba aos 24 anos e foi asasinado. Uns tipos que o odiaban decidiron matalo a golpes. Á súa despedida só viñeron oito persoas. Que queda daqueles a quen quixemos, cando morreron? Nós. Quedamos nós. A nosa memoria, os nosos recordos. O que fagamos con eles.

All the characters I have written about are my biblical favorites. They were strong and Yahweh choose to use them in the time frame that they were to be used. For many of us, Yahweh is doing the same thing. He has chosen to speak to us and give us assignments which can be very critical. He may call us to rescue a nation, rescue a family or rescue children. Speak to Government officials or warn Presidents, all because he is Yahweh and he knows the end from the beginning. We are also his hands and feet in the earth so why argue with the almighty?
