This Friday the novel “Cabárceno” by Héctor Peña, a horror novel with touches of CF, will be presented in Bilbao. It will be at the Cámara Bookstore, on Calle Euskalduna, at 7:00 p.m.
It’s about a “terrifying thriller where there are no good or bad guys, only survivors”, in which Peña recounts, with a “cinematic style”, “a terrifying story where corruption, science and death become the same thing”.
This is not a conventional zoo. Here the animals enjoy a full life in semi-freedom. Our fierce lions are always ready to roar, the bears to frolic, and? Have you seen the show of the birds of prey? Daniel Arrebol, an aspiring civil engineer, believes that the time has come to pay for his own vices. For this he decides to work in Cabárceno during the Easter weekend. When he meets Professor Böshartig, his idea of spending a few long and boring days collecting excrement goes down the drain. The radical animal group FDAE has Holy Thursday marked on the calendar. What they don’t know is that a strange disease has begun to spread through the park, turning the animals into irrational beings. An infection of the skin, of the body, of the soul? How will the authorities react? Will the Santos Lozano family be able to escape in time? Will Marta, Pablo and the others be able to solve their problems before it’s too late? And what is more important: What is hidden in La Mina?
