Selección Terror: Seda y niebla para el asesino
This Spanish-language pulp horror magazine contains "Seda y niebla para el asesino" (Silk and Fog for the Murderer) by Curtis Garland, a serialized thriller set in Victorian London. The narrative opens in a pub on Lambeth Road where a drunk woman named Maggie Brown is ejected by the barkeep Jarvis. A well-dressed stranger awakens from an alcohol-induced sleep and departs. Moments later, a woman is brutally murdered in a dark alley—her throat slashed by a knife-wielding assailant wearing black gloves who carves an "S" in blood on a wooden fence, signing himself as "Slaughter," a serial killer of women operating in the impoverished London neighborhoods of Lambeth, Whitefriars, and Spitalfields. The killer's distinctive gait—uneven, limping—suggests a physical infirmity. The narrative shifts to a couple, Roger and Karin Lansbury, discussing the crime's pattern in the newspapers, noting the killer's apparent preference for targeting particular types of women.
