Five Autobiographies and A Fiction, by Lucius Shepard, is a collection of 6 novellas, some of which have been published before. The "autobiographies" are, actually, fictional but they each have an incident or a setting or an event that did occur in Shepard's real life, generally during his very troubled adolescence. The author provides a startlingly frank introduction in which he describes those incidents, but it is not necessary to read that introduction before enjoying the stories. "Ditch Witch" concerns a motel that has very odd inhabitants; "The Flock" has a scary pack of birds; "Vacancy" deals with Malaysian witchcraft; "Dog-Eared Paperback of My Life" takes the reader on a very bizarre trip to the Mekong Delta; and "Halloween Town" is set in a strange, vertical town. The final novella, "Rose Street Attractors," comprises the "fiction" part of the title and is a quite entertaining steampunk ghost story. Shepard is a terrific stylist, painting very vivid pictures with his words, and each of these stories leaves the reader haunted, at least for a time. Recommended. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
