Abstract

The project "Neo-Gothic illustration of literary passages for the book Crónicas Malditas", seeks to identify a graphic line within the literary stream of the narrative of A. Forns, for later and with the appropriate graphic techniques said stories are illustrated. In the project, 13 illustrations of a gloomy, mysterious and mysterious nature were produced, in such a way that they perfectly accompany the collection of short stories "Crónicas Malditas" by the Spanish writer António Forns, which takes place in an atmosphere of terror and suspense inspired by the streets and certain places in the province of Azuay. In order to meet the objectives, set, a research work was carried out, both artistic and literary, because we needed to contaminate ourselves with the indicated environment in order to obtain the aforementioned illustrations. The research that was developed brought with it very relevant data within the Ecuadorian literature, and is that in the horror and suspense genre very few texts were found, very few authors and even more the scarce, almost null participation of illustrators and illustrations in the leaves of these books. However, and with this problem to cost selected books and illustrations that serve as an influence for the development of our project, giving the perfect result and expected in the design of our first strokes. Finally, 45 sketches were made, which after a selection would end up resulting in the illustration of 13 stories and the elaboration of the cover of the book "Crónicas Malditas"
