A rumour of a captive angel in 1990s Santiago unspools two centuries of Latin-American nightmares—forums, archives, pirates, and a machine-city entombed in ice—until memory itself speaks as the only oracle.
Polyphonic and feverish, The Oracle bridges goth subculture, an online hunt, colonial testimonies, and Parisian archives. Through dossiers, letters, and legends, Bisama builds a supernatural tapestry about obsession, belief, and
the ruins shaping Chile’s modernity. For editors of literary horror, this book stands out for its ambitious structure and
atmospheric world-building.
