Book description
Un joven periodista que trabaja para el periódico Manhattan Illustrator se queja a un compañero de las exigencias de su jefe, al que llama el viejo gato capón, que además de hacerle trabajar todas las horas del día, únicamente le da reportajes banales, vacíos y tontos. El último que le ha encargado para tener listo al día siguiente es sobre los animales del zoológico.Cuando estaba haciendo un estudio del bisonte, se le acerca una joven misteriosa que le entrega dos cartas, mojadas y con olor a sal marina, diciéndole que ya sabrá cuándo debe abrirlas. De manera repentina, la joven desaparece sin que el periodista se de cuenta.Esa misma tarde, el joven se entera de que encontraron el cadáver de una joven en la desembocadura del río, y que por la descripción le remite inmediatamente a la joven de las dos cartas...Robert William Chambers (1865 - 1933) nació en Brooklyn en el seno de una familia burguesa. Estudió en el New York Art Students League y en 1886 se mudó a París, donde convivió con el movimiento artístico bohemio, y donde expuso su obra en el salón de 1889. A su regreso a Nueva York, vendió ilustraciones a las principales revistas del momento. No obstante, a pesar de considerar la escritura como algo secundario, su pasión por contar historias lo llevó a publicar su primer libro, In the quarter en 1984 al cual le siguió El Rey de Amarillo, que lo convirtió en un maestro del cuento moderno de terror.Fue un escritor prolífico y sus obras alcanzaron un gran prestigio, llegando algunas a ser best-sellers. El dinero que obtuvo de ello lo invirtió en sus otras aficiones, entre las que se encontraba coleccionar mariposas y porcelana china. Chambers falleció a los sesenta y ocho años tras ser operado de una dolencia intestinal.
