No es tanto miedo como inquietud lo que estos cuentos provocan. El miedo, aun cuando sea indeterminado, es un sentimiento preciso y localizable. La inquietud, más sutil, más peligrosa, es algo que nos altera sin que podamos detectar su origen, la sombra de una sombra que nos persigue y que hace vacilar nuestras certezas.
