Selección Terror: Pueblo de Cadáveres

# Catalog Description

Pueblo de Cadaveres (Town of Corpses) by Curtis Garland is a horror novella published as issue 220 in Editorial Bruguera's Selección Terror series. The narrative unfolds through the first-person account of Brett York, one of six young urbanites who arrive at Cape Corner, a remote, tide-isolated peninsula on Britain's North Sea coast, seeking weekend refuge from city stress. What begins as a recreational expedition—their destination chosen randomly by dropping ink on a map—deteriorates into inexplicable supernatural horror. The protagonist, now alone and awaiting nightfall, reflects on the transformation of his companions (María, Selena, Nancy, Adam, and Howard) into something inhuman. The opening chapter depicts their arrival: a damaged motorboat reaches shore, and initial unease about the isolated village's unwelcoming inhabitants mingles with foreboding. The work emphasizes mounting dread and the narrator's realization that an unstoppable, incomprehensible force is consuming the group members one by one.
