A Sunny Place for Shady People: Stories
A Sunny Place for Shady People: Stories
A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, the occult, and the macabre by "one of Latin America's most exciting authors" (Silvia Moreno-Garcia) "Horror has found its master."--Joy Williams Greetings from Buenos Aires and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imagination of Mariana Enriquez. Illuminating the darkest shadows of contemporary existence, these twelve short stories explore in dazzling prose some of life's grandest themes, including longing, treachery, and murder. With her spellbinding ability to weave the real and the supernatural, Enriquez writes about outsiders and the overlooked, especially Argentina's women and girls as they navigate the unseen powers that seek to limit and define them. Lyrical and hypnotic, heart-stopping and deeply moving, Enriquez's stories enthrall, entertain, and leave us shaken. Taken together they form a blockbuster of literary horror and show why Kazuo Ishiguro calls her "the most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time."
