Historias Casi Ciertas 2 — Border
223 pages, 16 short stories and 1 poem of horror, mystery and fantasy, with black-and-white illustrations. Published by Tinta Libre Ediciones, 2026.
Language: Spanish; not an English-language edition.
An unnecessary, non-sequential follow-up to Historias Casi Ciertas 1: more stories, illustrations, horror, suspense and fantasy in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, where the paranormal pulses beneath everyday life.
SYNOPSIS
What happens when memory lies? When recollections have gaps? A restless, creative mind that cannot say “I don’t know” fills them eloquently. Sixteen stories move between neighborhood anecdotes and nightmares that haunt even the most skeptical, connected by doubt about reality and fantasy. Did it really happen that way—or is it all made up?
Inspired by real events, these tales return to the biting humor, 1980s nostalgia and love for family and friends that defined the first volume. This time the author ventures further, deeper and darker into the unknown, reaching places that seize you and never let go.
