La reencarnación de Lady Deborah

Catalog Note *La Reencarnación de Lady Deborah* (The Reincarnation of Lady Deborah), by Joseph Berna, is a Gothic horror narrative serialized in this 1983 Spanish pulp magazine. The story follows Robert Sullivan, a thirty-seven-year-old London publishing executive engaged to Marion Tracy, whose life is disrupted when a mysterious blonde woman named Deborah appears naked in his home, claiming amnesia. In a parallel sequence, horror novelist Chris Ralston discusses with journalist Lucy Gardner his current work about the historical Lady Deborah Marley, an eighteenth-century figure of supernatural malevolence who allegedly poisoned and mutilated her own poisoner before dying. The narrative establishes supernatural intrigue through Ralston's suggestion that such diabolic beings reincarnate. The story interweaves present-day romance and suspense with historical legend, positioning Deborah's mysterious appearance in Sullivan's life against the backdrop of her legendary past.
