Summary: | Investing the Res factae, the Spanish author of black novels Juan Madrid gathers in Malos tiempos (2017) the stories of eight bloody local news that he had already published as a reporter in Cambio 16. The murders reported there derive from attributes of contemporary society: materialism, greed, individualism, etc. Religion, as an instrument of alienation and its commodification, is at the origin of the horrible crime committed by Hermanas de Luz, followers of Saint Lucia. This article is a study based on a hermeneutic approach, reconciling the theoretical-conceptual and epistemological perspective with textual practice.
