Orácio Quiroga (Uruguay, 1878-1937) is a storyteller and whimsical writer whose novels are about the dark sides of the human psyche, fatal natural forces, imbued with gloomy fantasy.

From under his pen came numerous collections of short stories: «Selva Tales», «Desert», «Anaconda», «Alien Crime». However, the most famous book of short stories by the Uruguayan Edgar Poe is Tales of Love, Madness and Death (1917).

Disappointment, sorrow and death, love, courage and dignity are the themes of this collection, which was compiled by the author himself, creating a peculiar creative style in which fantastic elements are combined with harsh realism. Unfortunately, these so-called «scary» stories by Kirov are little known to our readers.
