City of Mist is a posthumously published collection of short stories by the late Ruiz Zafón, whose most famous work is The Shadow of the Wind. Many of these short stories relate to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, while others do not. I was devastated when I found out that this author passed away and I truly believe he is the among the best writers I’ve read. His books have been translated into over 50 languages, making him this most widely published Spanish author. I absolutely loved The Shadow of the Wind so it was enjoyable to read short stories where some familiar characters made an appearance. I also just love Ruiz Zafón’s beautiful writing and it was lovely as always in this collection.

Que maravilha, voltar a encontrar a Barcelona misteriosa e mágica de Zafón!! Voltar a encontrar nomes familiares como Sempere, David Martin, o Cemitério dos Livros Esquecidos e muito mais, aqueceu-me o coração, é como olhar para um album de fotografias de antepassados de pessoas que nos são queridas. Um livro a reler devagar, numa noite fria, enrolada numa manta. É triste, pensar que já não haverá mais estórias mágicas de Zafón.

Frequently, short stories leave me disappointed as they just end or no story or point. But every one in this collection was a true short story with a beginning and end.

I will read everything this man ever wrote. Even his grocery list.
