A report detailing extraterrestrial infiltration and its influence on the Mexican government. A conqueror of new planets turned genocidal at the touch of a button. An immigrant worker who is significantly far from home. An oppressed woman who discovers what it means to be the daughter of a demon. A romance between two monstrous but lonely figures. A technological advance that changes the fate of the conflict between Juárez and Maximiliano. A city, in short, that experiences despotic governments, apocalyptic scenarios and the visit of a redeeming angel.

This volume brings together the best stories that Bernardo Fernández, Bef, has written throughout his career. They confirm his skill in freely moving between literary fiction and the concerns of various imaginative genres. The result is a distressing vision of the current world and the one that awaits us, not devoid of black humor and fine psychological precision.

“Bernardo Fernández is, without a doubt, a writer who has put his best talents at the service of a just cause: to tell us the story of the world that is coming, of the Mexico that is coming like a deadly avalanche.”

Gabriel Tujillo Muñoz

“A writer without a past, whom I admire.”

Guillermo Fadanelli
