Joan Perucho, born in Barcelona, was a judge and a writer in almost every genre: poetry, novels, short stories, essays, memoir, and literary and artistic criticism. Unorthodox and always independent of the literary trends of his time, he kept company with visual artists such as Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies. Author of nearly seventy books, he lived to see the start of the publication of his complete works and won the most important prizes in Catalan literature.
Far from the prevailing realism of his time, Joan Perucho’s work is marked by fantasy, irony, humor, and his interest in the past, magic, and esotericism. His prose is clear yet drawn toward aestheticism and the baroque. His is an absorbing poetic universe, filled with historical references both real and invented, that explores the border between reason and the supernatural.
«An extraordinarily sophisticated entertainment, probably the most distinguished vampire tale ever written.»
