Sumérgete en la mente de Angela Carter con 'Las infernales máquinas del deseo del Doctor Hoffman'. Desiderio, un empleado de la ciudad, se enfrenta a una realidad distorsionada por las máquinas del Doctor Hoffman y se enamora de Albertina, la hija del doctor, una mujer de cristal que solo aparece en sus sueños. En su búsqueda, Desiderio se encuentra con caníbales, centauros y acróbatas, luchando contra la irrealidad y la distorsión del tiempo y el espacio para estar con Albertina, mientras el Doctor sume la ciudad en un caos de locura, crimen y exceso sexual. Esta novela es una búsqueda satírica de la verdad, el amor y la identidad.
