Gefährlich und verwegen ist die Corrida, grausam und blutig der Hahnenkampf. Aber nichts übertrifft die Salsa de Tomates, das blutrote Gemetzel, zu dem man heimlich zusammenkommt im Hinterland von Granada... Ein Klassiker der Phantastik und des Horrors. "Die Tomatensauce" ist wohl Hanns Heinz Ewers' (1871-1943) bekannteste Novelle. Sie erschien zuerst 1905 in einer Berliner Zeitung und gilt heute als literarischer Vorläufer – oder sogar Gründungstext – des Splatter-Genres.

Die bekanntesten Stimmen Deutschlands, extravagante Sound- und Musikkulissen runden dieses Hörspielerlebnis zu einer Sammlung ab, die den Namen Sonderedition wahrlich verdient hat. Aber hört selbst.
