Este audiolibro reúne un conjunto de relatos que giran en torno a la construcción de un universo alterno. Un universo interior, tocado por la fantasía, al cual se puede transmigrar a voluntad. O bien puede ser que sea el universo alterno el que se las ingenie para irrumpir en esta realidad. De manera que el tejido de la cotidianidad de pronto se ve atravesado por la extrañeza, lo insólito, por algo que no debería estar allí pero cuya presencia –por fin– le otorga algo de sentido a la sinrazón.

Humans have always been fascinated by darkness. Especially the darkness of a city at night, when the black sky is made ever more inky by the pools of illumination dropped under streetlights. Whether the mean streets be in an alternate past charmed with dark magic or the dirty alleyways of futuristic crowded space stations, the city—and its darkened streets—will always fascinate us. Here then, an anthology of all new stories of science fiction and fantasy with a hardboiled noir twist that acknowledge that the city is a living, breathing entity...and it isn’t always on our side.

In a world of criminals, thugs, con artists, cheats, and swindlers, there must be a man to stand against the powers of darkness and corruption. A man not afraid to walk the mean streets—whether they be those of 1930s Los Angeles, an ancient fantasy realm, or some far-flung planet of a future star empire. He is a man who knows that a “good man” is not always a “nice guy”. But when the chips are down, he understands that a hero does the right thing, even if it means losing everything.
