Acólito

Una mañana cualquiera Adrián, estudiante de bachillerato, decide socorrer a un indigente que está siendo agredido. Se trata de un antiguo maestro, que le guiará por la historia llena de secretos.

Este libro revela la lucha de la autora con sus temas recurrentes ?la injusticia, la ambigüedad moral, la cuchilla de la crueldad en el corazón de las relaciones humanas? de una forma mucho más desnuda que en sus novelas. Crímenes bestiales presenta un puñado de historias de venganza, en las cuales perros, cabras, elefantes y cerdos sometidos devuelven el golpe a sus amos maltratadores. Relatos breves que nos animan a alinearnos con las bestias en lugar de con los humanos.
