Preguntad en el infierno
"Ask in Hell" by Silver Kane This Spanish-language horror tale follows Chris Laurens, a young doctoral student in New York City, who experiences a terrifying nightmare in which she is drawn to an ancient mansion near a small town in New England called North Valley. In the dream, she encounters her father's funeral at an adjacent cemetery; his corpse moves unnaturally, attempting to embrace her. She then sees him alive in a wheelchair at the mansion's window, bearing a bullet wound between his eyes. Chris awakens in her Manhattan apartment, relieved it was merely a nightmare—her father supposedly died of pneumonia over a year prior. Days later, her mother reveals she has accepted a job as caretaker of an old estate in New England. When shown a photograph of the house, Chris recognizes it as identical to the mansion from her dream, complete with its isolated black tower. Faced with her family's financial difficulties following her father's death, Chris must now confront whether her nightmare was merely coincidence or something more sinister.
