Media Reviews
Quiroga's stories are, like Poe's, full of psychological shocks and eerie effects, and are bracingly, if ruthlessly, realistic. - New Yorker
Author Bio
Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) was a master storyteller, author of Latin American fiction that has been compared to the works of Poe, Kipling, and London. His own life from his birth in Uruguay to his suicide in Argentina was filled with adventure, tragedy, and violence.
