Es realmente un buen libro, un 4.5 en vez de 5 pero me gustó muchísimo, esa idea de quien chota es el rey de amarillo te deja pensando en si te perdiste ese libro, lo mismo la parte futurista que claro, ahora como pasaron 100 años desde ahí te das cuenta q nunca pasó ni iba a pasar, ni va a pasar en otras cosas, pero está perfecto, porque son historias de terror
Mi edición de El Zorro Rojo incluye los cuatro relatos originales de los diez que serían posteriormente recopilados (La Máscara, El Reparador de Reputaciones, En el Patio del Dragón y El Signo Amarillo), hermosamente ilustrados por Santiago Caruso (quien creo nació para ilustrar rarezas y alucinaciones).
Mis dos relatos preferidos son sin dudas El Signo Amarillo y La Máscara, donde las vívidas descripciones de Chambers (gracias a una impecable traducción de Marcial Souto) nos hacen sentir atormentados en primera persona a través del viaje onírico de los personajes.
Lamentablemente ahora necesito los otros dos libros de Chambers ilustrados por Caruso...

The first 4 or 5 stories are good and you can clearly see the impact they could have had on Lovecraft's works. The others are just plain romance, boring and I'm unsure why they were included in this book.
The court of the dragon and the repairer of reputation are amazing.
The court of the dragon and the repairer of reputation are amazing.
A book that causes madness, recurring characters called Herbert and West, dreams leaking into reality, and sories that evoke the twilight zone stories are all things that reminded me of Lovecraft in these stories. It doesn't use the same archaic language so for me there wasn't as strong of an atmosphere.

I came for the weird stories, they were quite fun, but I have too many other things to read, ain't got time for the romantic French artist stories. Maybe at some point in the future.
