El síndrome de Ambras

“The Ambras’ Sindrome” is a disquieting gothic narration in a historical setting, whose title makes reference to that strange and sinister sickness that consists in an anomalous and excessive appearance of hair. Lord Alexander Ashton, a handsome English nobleman has been commissioned to take certain secret actions vis-à-vis the Spanish government during the liberal decade (1853-1863). The trip by horse and carriage, from inn to inn, throughout the Spanish geography, accompanied by his young Spanish wife of Basque origin, lady Florence Losada, his orderly and friend, Brian O’Casey, and maidservant, Emily Farrell, Florence’s cousin, will take on a terrible turn, and a similar pattern to the strange evil afflicting Lord Alexander, and which might just have some relation to the dreaded lycanthropy.
