      In this book, the stories give voice to those who have been marginalized and condemned to live in the shadows of madness, nostalgia, loss, and despair. The characters, defeated by life itself, take refuge in the memory of what they once had, in abandonment, expired promises, and discouragement. The psychiatric hospital "La Castañeda" and "El Palacio de Lecumberri" are the spaces that house the final destination of each protagonist, whose end is the inevitable metamorphosis into shadows.
