“Moses and Gaspar,” introduces us to José. After the tragic death of his brother, José inherits his two creatures, which, admittedly, he was never very fond of. “I felt uncomfortable in their presence,” he says, “as though I were always being watched.” What kind of creatures they are is never made clear; are they cats, dogs, children, or something else? Demons? We don’t know exactly, but gradually these demanding and grisly companions take to ruining José’s life, causing him to make unimaginable compromises that get more disturbing as time passes.
