This was such a captivating take on The Lovecraft circle. I honestly hadn't heard of Carlos Sandoval before but your breakdown really pulled me in. That blend of metafiction, Venezuelan reality and lovecraftian horror sounds like an ambitious mix -and it seems like Sandoval managed to make it work. I love stories that blur the lines between fiction and reality especially when they require the readers to stay alert and piece things together

This definitely feels like a story that would haunt your thoughts long after the last page. Thanks for sharing this. You've convinced me to look up this book and maybe dive into more Venezuelan horror fiction
