«Casas sin puertas» is a collection of horror stories by Peter Straub, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, in Spanish.
The stories in this selection do not rely on blood or the usual visceral quality of recent horror; instead, they follow the path of the genre's classics to create an unsettling atmosphere and a feeling of unease that lingers after reading.
The original title of the work is «Houses without Doors». The collection was nominated for the World Fantasy Award in the Best Collection category in 1991.
Intended for readers of horror and short stories who value atmosphere and suggestion over explicit violence.
Peter Francis Straub was an American novelist and poet. He had success with several horror and supernatural fiction novels, among them Julia (1975), Ghost Story (1979) and The Talisman (1984), the latter co-written with Stephen King. He explored the mystery genre with the Blue Rose trilogy, consisting of Koko (1988), Mystery (1990) and The Throat (1993). He fused the supernatural with crime fiction in Lost Boy, Lost Girl (2003) and the related In the Night Room (2004). For the Library of America, he edited the volume H. P. Lovecraft: Tales and the anthology American Fantastic Tales. Straub received such literary honors as the Bram Stoker Award, World Fantasy Award, and International Horror Guild Award.
