Selección Terror: La fábrica de estatuas

Clark Carrados's "The Statue Factory" (La fábrica de estatuas), a Spanish-language mystery-horror tale. Lord Guthford purchases a bronze female nude statue from a London antique dealer; when it falls during installation at his mansion, the cracked metal reveals a decomposed human corpse inside—identified as Scylla Watson, a woman missing for months. The corpse was substituted for the original statue through the antique shop's warehouse, accessible via a rear alley. The warehouse manager, Harry Pawan, disappears. Friend Quentin Burnton asks detective Alan Darney to investigate privately, but Darney declines, distracted by a blonde woman. Soon after, Pawan's corpse surfaces in the Thames, bearing a fatal blow to the skull from at least four weeks prior. The narrative shifts between the initial discovery, Burnton and Darney's conversation, and police investigation into Pawan's death, suggesting multiple crimes connected to the statue's journey.
