The influence of the masters of pop culture in Spanish American narrative is a yet unexplored territory. In this anthology, various young authors from different latitudes come together under the influence of Stephen King and pay tribute to the “master of horror”. These stories prove that supernatural horror is not a tradition alien to Spanish American literature but is an interest of a generation of writers. The ghost of King looms over these stories, sometimes like Pennywise, others like an arcane being from the beyond where reality shows coexist with zombies. Inspired by the North American writer, the stories gate crash meetings of psychiatric patients, discover supernatural beings infiltrating Latin American military movements, narrate spontaneous experiments in quantum physics and present obscure characters, such as evil doppelgangers or demons that stalk innocent children. Welcome, reader, to this disturbing homage: here there is cannibalism, madness and religious sects. Here there are tigers.
