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.
