“Tell me about your trip to the pampas, Uncle Joaquin,” Lillian pleaded. “And don’t leave out a single detail.”
“I’ll tell you. But first I’m going to describe the thing I saw out there in the pampas, even if it frightens you.”
Joaquin had convinced four former comrades from the upper echelons of the Argentine Air Force, with whom he had served during the Falklands War, to spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s on a hunting trip to the pampas grasslands.
What they found there was beyond belief...
In the enduring tradition of classic British and American ghost and horror stories, A NIGHT IN THE PAMPAS continues John Stewart Wynne’s exploration of the uncanny with this macabre tale, as he did with reincarnation in his story LOUISE, DON'T GO and a a living skeleton in THE NEEDLES HIGHWAY.
Wynne is known for his unsettling, highly acclaimed story collections THE OTHER WORLD and CONSEQUENCES OF ATTRACTION.
Reviews
Wynne's story moves rapidly with an amazing specificity of place. His characters, who this time come from Argentina, journey to the pampas and back to Buenos Aires, a journey that takes them directly to the dark heart of revenge. This is a tale that brings us again to the monster fables we read as children but that continue to haunt us as adults.
