- This anthology is edited and commented by two experts in Peninsular Spanish and Latin American fantastic short fiction respectively: Dr Patricia Garca, Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham, and Dr Teresa Lpez-Pellisa, Assistant Professor at the Universidad de las Islas Baleares.- It includes introductions to the life and work of female authors who are not very well known in the Anglophone world due to the lack of translations of their works. Our critical work with a feminist focus will provide a helpful framework for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the UK and US.- A wide-ranging bibliography will be of great assistance to those looking to pursue research on the fantastic or on any of the specific writers and texts. - This book is endorsed by the British Academy as part of the project Gender and the Fantastic in Hispanic Studies, and by an established international network, namely the Grupo de Estudios sobre lo Fantstico, based in the Universidad Autnoma de Barcelona.- We have secured copyright permissions by the authors to publish these short stories.
