Welcome to Refugio Bizarro’s translated fiction section, a space dedicated to bringing unusual, unsettling, imaginative, and boundary-pushing literature to English-speaking readers. Refugio Bizarro has long been a home for strange voices, forgotten gems, and fiction that resists easy classification. This section continues that spirit by opening a window onto works that deserve to travel beyond their original language and find new readers around the world.
The translations published here will appear gradually, as part of an ongoing process rather than a complete archive. Not every text from Refugio Bizarro can be made available in English, and some works remain absent due to copyright-related restrictions. For that reason, this section should be understood as a curated and evolving selection: a living project that will continue to grow over time, as new translations are completed and permissions allow.
If you are encountering the Spanish-speaking lovecraftian colective Refugio Bizarro for the first time, think of it as a shelter for literary oddities and a meeting point for readers who enjoy the uncanny, the experimental, the darkly comic, and the wonderfully unexpected. We invite you to explore these translated stories with curiosity and patience, and to return from time to time as the collection expands. The journey is just beginning.
