Resumen
The leonese writer Juan Pedro Aparicio is one of the most renowned contemporary authors in Spain. A great part of his narrative world is connected to different manifestations of the non-mimetic literature, as it happens in three of his flash fiction books, La mitad del diablo (2006), El juego del diábolo (2008) and London Calling (2015). This paper goes in deep in Aparicio's thought on hyper-short narrative, and it also analyses how the use of categories such as fantastic, science fiction, grotesque, extraordinary, mythical and symbolical forms intertwines together with intertextuality, metafiction, humour, irony, a sarcastic but benevolent view, and a critical intention. Monsters and impossible creatures who inhabit those pages let the author wear a very singular and fantastic “glasses of life”, which offer an accurate portrait of his cultural commitment and profound intelligence.

Resumen
Patricia Esteban Erlés presents in Manderley en venta (2008) new forms and meanings of the myth of Amphitryon that are additionally related to the novel Rebecca (1938) by Daphne du Maurier. These echoes and intertextual references appear in the fourth short story of the volume, “Historia de una breve alma en pena” in which the child protagonist, a little girl, is forced to substitute the identity of her father’s sister who died at the age of seven. Those reference can also be seen in “Habitante” in which the new tenant in a house impersonates the woman who lived in the same place before she died. In the same way, “Línea 40” presents a man with cancer who would switch places with anybody to avoid death. In addition, the ghostly configuration of the characters reminds Faces in the Crowd (2011), the first novel by the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli, with which comparisons can be made.

Resumen
The ninety nine “rashes” in Cuentos malvados are “an abstract draft in the middle of nowhere” about distressing and invisible monsters, which are able to destabilise and even to shake the foundations of reason. These monsters represent phobias, night and day terrors related to different aspects of evil. Thus, the seven sections carry out a special metaphysic monster (“Water”, “Angels”, “Voices”, “Spiders and butterflies”, “Mirror”, “Tales” and “Inside the labyrinth”) where every microtale offers a claustrophobic urn of evil for characters and readers, caught inside a labyrinth without an exit.
