Horacio Quiroga (December 31, 1878, Salto, Uruguay – February 19, 1937, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was a Uruguayan author of short stories. He wrote stories which, in their use of the supernatural and the bizarre, look backward to Edgar Allan Poe, but also look forward to the magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Horacio+Quiroga">Read more on Last.fm</a>
