El rey de los caracoles

Synopsis of El rey de los caracoles

The investigation of a satanic ritual and a double homicide involving cannibal snails at an abandoned gas station falls into the hands of detectives Gros and Cheto, two marginalized police officers from the Amarillo, Texas police department. To their astonishment and delirium, their inquiries lead them to Asmodeus, the king of demons, the renowned Doctor Leist, a gang of drug traffickers, and a fleeting journey to the gates of heaven and a not-so-fleeting one to the depths of hell. In 'El rey de los caracoles', David Pamies and David Sánchez take the protagonists and the reader on a delirious journey that forms a speculative fiction exploring the limits of madness and fantasy, all tinged with a patina of strangeness and absurdity.
