Joseph Conrad immortalised it in the iconic words from Heart of Darkness: “The horror!, the horror!”, and it is true that darkness attracts writers the way light attracts moths. Horror, fantasy and the strange, of course, but also the darkness of the everyday. This is how Andrés Barba (Spain) and Pilar Quintana (Colombia) make readers’ hair really stand on end when the night falls on their pages.
