A disillusioned Irishman takes a job as a meteorologist at a navigation corporation and sets off for a remote Antarctic island, anticipating a dull life isolated from the world, with only a lighthouse keeper for company. But on the very first night, sea creatures appear on the island, and his self-imposed solitude turns into an endless nightmare. What happens to people when they encounter the unknown? Two people on the island exhaust their knowledge and discover that an abyss lurks within its depths.

Albert Sánchez Piñol is an anthropologist and one of the greatest and most original stars of Catalan literature. He creates astonishing worlds in which the real and the fantastic blend, and where man repeatedly encounters the Other in the best traditions of Lovecraft, Conrad, and Stevenson. Cold Skin, Sánchez Piñol's first novel, became a sensation in 2002, has already seen nearly thirty editions in Spain and Catalonia, has been translated into 37 languages, and has been successfully adapted into a film by Xavier Gens. Again and again, at nightfall, the children of the sea come ashore, but who are the Others here—they, those who come from the blackness of the ocean, or we, the bearers of notions of civilization, unable to see life in the Other?
