Imagine you're a poor man, just trying to get by. One night, you meet seven bats who offer you a deal: they'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. There's just one condition. This is the setup for Historia de los siete murciélagos, where Manuel Fernández y González spins an old Arabian legend into a captivating Spanish story.
The Story
The tale follows a man who accepts the bats' offer. Suddenly, he has everything he ever wanted—a palace, fine clothes, endless feasts. But as the years pass in this magical luxury, a quiet unease grows. The bats never ask for their payment, and that unknown debt hangs over his perfect life. The story becomes a tense waiting game, exploring what happens when you get everything you asked for, but have no idea what you promised in return.
Why You Should Read It
What grabbed me was how fresh this 19th-century story feels. It's not about jump scares; it's about the psychological weight of a bargain. The main character's anxiety is something we can all understand—that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Fernández y González writes with a clear, engaging style that pulls you right into the character's gilded cage. You keep turning pages, not to see more magic, but to finally discover the cost.
Final Verdict
Perfect for readers who love smart fairy tales, myth retellings, or quick stories that stick with you. If you enjoyed the moral puzzles in stories like The Monkey's Paw or the atmosphere of classic fables, you'll find a real gem here. It's a one-sitting read that proves some questions about greed, gratitude, and consequence are truly timeless.
