Sinopse

Espacio vital —publicado originalmente como Elbow Room en 1977— es el epítome de lo que James Alan McPherson significó para la literatura de su tiempo, que es también el nuestro. Ser un escritor negro en los Estados Unidos marcó tanto la escritura de McPherson como la percepción que de él tuvo el mundillo literario que le tocó vivir, un mundillo en el que, a golpe de codazos, supo abrirse un espacio vital donde permitirse ser auténtico.
Los doce relatos que están recogidos en este volumen, con el que McPherson se convirtió en el primer autor afroamericano en recibir un premio Pulitzer en la categoría de ficción (en 1978), continúan apelando a un mundo extrañamente familiar de desigualdades e injusticias, de violencias e incomprensiones, pero también de lucha y reivindicación. Un ejemplo irrefutable de la destreza narrativa de McPherson, con un característico tono desenfadado que rebosa humor y que acerca las historias a la narrativa oral. Espacio vital sigue interpelándonos a pesar de los años transcurridos. McPherson, en su momento, asumió la responsabilidad de concebir estas inolvidables historias; nos corresponde ahora la responsabilidad de leerlas e intentar hacer del mundo que reflejan un lugar distinto y, si tenemos un poco de suerte, un lugar mejor.

    A casual estate sale spirals into a psychological nightmare when a haunting mimics reality with terrifying precision.
     
    Unfolding like a breathless late-night confession, this story blurs the line between stress-induced paranoia and supernatural threat. The narrative voice is disarmingly funny and skeptical, grounding the claustrophobic dread of being home alone while footsteps echo in empty rooms and the feeling of being watched becomes undeniable.
     
    Small discrepancies begin to fracture the safety of daily routine. Electronics glitch with impossible sounds, pets growl at vacant corners, and reflections lag a split-second behind. The entity doesn't just haunt the space; it learns, mimics, and invades, turning the sanctuary of an apartment into a suffocating trap.
     
    What you will experience in this contemporary horror:
     A chillingly intimate, "found footage" style narrative voice.
     Psychological gaslighting clashing with paranormal activity.
      Escalating domestic horror involving mirrors and mimicry.
      A genre-bending twist that forces you to replay every scene.
     
    As the search for answers points back to the beginning, a devastating realization waits in the dark. The true horror isn't what you bring back from the outside world, but the dormant terror you have been carrying inside you all along.

    In a future where therapy is automated and absurdity reigns, Bad Medicine by Robert Sheckley delivers a razor-sharp satire of mental health, technology, and the human condition. Set in the year 2103, the story follows Elwood Caswell as he seeks help for disturbing thoughts—only to find himself entangled with a malfunctioning therapeutic machine meant for another species entirely. Witty, unsettling, and thought-provoking, this science fiction tale blends dark humor with biting social commentary, inviting readers to question the limits of sanity and the meaning of true connection.
