Que estarias dispuesto a hacer por la inmortalidad? Que entregarias… o a quien? Piensas que todo esta bien. Eres feliz. Entonces tu jefe te encarga un trabajo extraoficial, nada muy complicado, se trata solamente de conseguir una casa para un excentrico conde rumano. Una casa cerca de una barranca. Y cuando crees que has terminado con tu labor, te das cuenta de que tu pesadilla en esa casa, de ventanas tapiadas y sin espejos, apenas comienza. La sangre es tan roja hoy como hace cinco siglos… tan dulce en la Ciudad de Mexico como en la lejana Rumania… Yves Navarro sera testigo impotente del precio que tiene la vida eterna. La sangre, la vida, lo que mas se quiere… entregara todo para no perderlo. Y al final, quedara algo? Life is good, everything is in order and you are happy. Then your boss gives you an unofficial assignment. Nothing complicated. He needs you to find a house for an eccentric Rumanian count, a house close to a ravine. Just when you thought your job was done, you realize that the nightmare has just begun. In this house without mirrors and walled windows, blood flows as fresh as it did five centuries before… and as sweet in Mexico City as in far away Rumania.

Ok... ugh, ick. This is way too creepy & gross for me. Am stopping.... This small novella obviously packs a punch & I made it only halfway through.

The first Carlos Fuentes novella I have read. A very inventive re-imagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The language wasn't as rich and descriptive as I have come to expect from Spanish authors, but it might be the translator.The plot seemed a tad bit rushed to me. And the conclusion at the end didn't...

Dracula will never be the same for me. I've been reading Fuentes since the late 80s, and I'm so sorry that there won't be any more to look forward to. But on the other hand, what an incredible body of work. This is not an afterthought book, or a gimme for the publisher. This is the real deal, and I ...
