La Mujer Alta
La Mujer Alta by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a work published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on January 28, 2016. This edition, written in Spanish and comprising 60 pages, explores the theme of obsession through the lens of horror, reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe’s style. The narrative centers on the narrator’s fixation with tall, bony women of advanced age, particularly during solitary encounters late at night.
Readers will find a unique take on horror that diverges from traditional ghost stories, as it delves into the psychological aspects of the narrator’s experiences. The story raises questions about the nature of reality and madness, leaving the reader uncertain whether the encounters are with a spectral figure or a manifestation of the narrator’s disturbed mind. This exploration of fiction and horror invites contemplation on the boundaries between obsession and sanity.
Official synopsis Publisher
La mujer alta es, a la manera de Edgar Allan Poe, la historia de una obsesión, la que siente el narrador por las mujeres altas y huesudas, de edad avanzada, cuando se encuentra a solas con ellas, en la calle, a altas horas de la noche. Si bien existen muchos relatos de terror sobre fantasmas femeninos, son pocos los que han conjurado el horror en la visión de una mujer absolutamente normal, aunque jamás sabremos con certeza si se trataba de un espectro o un arrebato demencial del narrador.
