En su ensayo «El horror sobrenatural en la literatura», H. P. Lovecraft atribuye a Walter de la Mare una curiosa técnica narrativa, consistente «en transmitir los sentimientos, en el sentido de llevarlos desde el texto a la mente del lector. Y el autor lo consigue de forma soberbia». A la luz de estos relatos sería válido afirmar que esta técnica opera por sugestión y acumulación, en ese delgado confín donde se funden lo real y lo fantasmal.

Los relatos incluidos en este volumen fueron seleccionados, traducidos y prologados por Francisco Torres Olivier, uno de los mayores impulsores del género macabro y sobrenatural en lengua castellana. Se incluyen los cuentos más celebrados de De la Mare, esos donde el eco de las palabras resulta, por momentos, más potente que las propias palabras.

Walter de la Mare (1843-1956) es dueño de una obra ecléctica: ensayos, poemas infantiles, cuentos de terror psicológico. Las delicadezas campean en su literatura: es el trabajo con las atmósferas aquello que lo alejan de la ortodoxia y las vanguardias para convertirlo, sin eufemismos, en un autor único en su género.

Quizás por eso su traductor reconoce su valor y, a la vez, las enormes dificultades de volcarlo al español. Quizás por eso estos relatos son tan usuales en antologías del ámbito angloparlante, y casi inhallables en idioma español. Como fuese, el rescate de estos cuentos cumple en celebrar, con pleno merecimiento, a un autor insoslayable en la literatura fantástica del siglo XX.
