Throughout my life, I was always captivated by all the television shows that consisted of short stories. I always found it pretty clever how they put in fantastic stories, in thirty minutes or an hour. My initial references were "Twilight Zone", "Amazing Stories", "Night Gallery", among others. Of course, over time that continued with current shows like "Black Mirror" and "Room 104".
On the literature side, this started with the short stories by Stephen King and Charles Bukowski. That later continued to evolve with other authors such as Lovecraft, Jorge Luis Borges, Clive Barker, among others.
Thanks to these influences, I decided to take the step of starting to write my own short stories. These stories were written throughout my life. While I was developing them, little by little, I polished, expanded, or shortened them, depending on the situation warranted, and this is how this compendium of stories was born.
"In the bottom of the Darkness" is simply a name that occurred to me, since many stories have a dark foundation, concept, and approach. I wanted to find a rhyming title and that's what I came up with.
Initially, I wanted to write basic horror stories, but the problem is that I could not come up with original ideas. When I came up with one, I realized that it was quite similar to those of Stephen King or another author. So I started to work in another way, to discover how to make a more authentic story. After some time racking my brain I was able to get it and here is the result.
The stories are varied, mainly there is a bit of dark realism, magical realism, horror, fantasy, eroticism (do not worry, it is moderate, it does not become pornographic), among others. Each story touches a different theme, using a different genre, which makes this compendium very varied and dynamic.
I hope you enjoy it...
