E.T.A. Hoffmanns ”Djævelens Eliksir” er en dæmonisk gyserroman om munken Medardus, der flygter fra klosteret og kaster sig ud i en lang række mord og andre forbrydelser. Er han forfulgt af sin dobbeltgænger? Ser han syner, eller er det dybderne i hans eget uhyggelige sind, han får øje på? Romanen er spændt ud mellem de menneskelige poler lyst og dyd. Den handler om sjælemystik og er ved siden af det rent realistiske, som Hoffmann forstod at finde ind til i den menneskelige psykes dybder, en skarp udlevering af religiøst hysteri.Den tyske forfatter E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) var med sin forkærlighed for skrækscenarier, slægtsforbandelse, makabre forbrydelser og lignende, hovedskikkelsen i den ”sorte” romantiske digtning. Til forskel fra de øvrige romantikeres enhedstænkning havde Hoffmann en dualistisk livsanskuelse, hvor kun åndens verden er virkelig, mens den materielle verden er grotesk og uvirkelig. Hoffmann fik stor indflydelse på europæisk litteratur, og forfattere som bl.a. H.C. Andersen, Fjodor Dostojevskij og Charles Dickens har fundet inspiration i hans digtning.

Happily engaged to the poet Amandus, Fräulein Anna is horrified to discover that a beautiful ring, mysteriously deposited upon her finger whilst tending her kitchen garden, forces her into marriage with the gnome Corduanspitz. Can Anna find any way of removing the ring? Will her poet lover shake off his passive demeanour and come to her aid? And has Corduanspitz truly relinquished all ties to his gnome heritage?Around a love story very much of its time, Hoffman arranges a narrative that brings to mind the most successful elements of contemporary magical realism and surreal comedy. Always entertaining, yet capable of a focused though subtle morality, The King’s Bride brings disparate elements into a masterful harmony.

Ser a dif cil separar a la literatura oscura y de horror del papel que el Romanticismo tuvo en su surgimiento, auge y consolidaci n. Uniendo los precedentes de la novela g tica, las baladas sobrenaturales y la poes a de cementerio, numerosos autores rom nticos se abocar an a cimentar el g nero del cuento de horror, cuyos ecos llegan hasta el presente, as como a incursionar en un tipo de escritura que no tardar a en dar lugar a la poes a en prosa y a escuelas est ticas como las del simbolismo y el decadentismo. Este volumen, que cierra la trilog a de esta editorial sobre literatura oscura, nos presenta diversos hitos de la sombr a prosa de ese per odo. La obra se inicia a fines del siglo XVIII con el fragmento Sir Bertrand, de John Aikin, que nos ofrece un perfecto ejemplo de las diversas caracter sticas de la novela g tica prerrom ntica, y con una de las Noches l gubres, de Jos Cadalso, herederas directas de la poes a de cementerio. Ya en el siglo rom ntico, nos asomamos a algunas de las m s tempranas incursiones en el cuento corto de horror de la mano del franc s Charles Nodier, autor de la antolog a Infernaliana, el alem n E. T. A. Hoffmann, con Una historia de fantasmas, y el estadounidense Washington Irving, con La aventura del estudiante alem n. La r pida evoluci n del g nero empieza a quedar manifiesta en obras como El joven Goodman Brown, de Nathaniel Hawthorne, Morella, de Edgar Allan Poe, Viy, del ucraniano Nikolai Gogol, La familia del vurdalak, en la que el ruso Aleksei K. Tolstoi nos presenta a los vampiros eslavos, y muchas de las Leyendas del espa ol Gustavo Adolfo B cquer, en las que se condensa toda la oscuridad del Romanticismo tard o. Uno de los primeros herederos de toda esta literatura es sin duda Charles Baudelaire, que populariza el g nero de los poemas en prosa y resulta as una influencia insoslayable para el espeluznante surrealismo de Los cantos de Maldoror, del Conde de Lautr amont. La huella que la est tica rom ntica deja en todo el subsiguiente g nero de horror se vuelve f cilmente identificable en los relatos de Kwaidan, de Lafcadio Hearn, y tambi n en muchas de las m s alucinadas p ginas de Guy de Maupassant, uno de cuyos ejemplos es su cl sico El horl . El presente viaje culmina con la aparici n, a fines del siglo XIX, de la escuela decadentista, cuya oscuridad y morbidez pueden apreciarse tanto en diversos fragmentos de la novela All lejos, de Joris-Karl Huysmans, como en el drama Salom , de Oscar Wilde.
