The Date and Other Horror Stories (Illustrated)

Our review

We believe that both Emilia Pardo Bazán and Bécquer are essential for horror literature in Spain, as their stories lay the foundation for later authors. She envelops us in dark atmospheres that leave you trembling. Her terror is not what is expected in the contemporary world, but rather more subtle and poetic. An art that only great classical writers knew how to create.

This collection of short stories combines suspense, horror, and detective fiction. Emilia Pardo Bazán drew from Poe's sinister literature, and that is why her tales remind us of those eerie atmospheres. We bring you this beautiful illustrated hardcover edition from Nórdica Libros, ideal for enjoying these magnificent stories for a lifetime and for learning more about the literary evolution of our country.

Did you know that Pardo Bazán was the pioneer of the Gothic short story in Spain? She is often compared to Edgar Allan Poe for her mastery in creating unsettling atmospheres. This anthology proves that Victorian horror was also written (and very well) in Spanish. The illustrations in this edition perfectly capture that sinister beauty.

About the Author

Emilia Pardo Bazán (A Coruña, 1851 - Madrid, 1921) was a distinguished writer, journalist, and literary critic. She was a pioneer in introducing naturalism to Spain and a woman committed to women's rights. In 1916, she was appointed professor, becoming the first woman to hold that position in Spain. Despite her many achievements and her immense body of work, which includes novels such as The Manor of Ulloa, she was never admitted to the Royal Spanish Academy due to her gender.
