A masterpiece of contemporary Gothic from the internationally acclaimed author of Things We Lost in the Fire.

This is what I am reading, short stories by the gifted Argentine writer and journalist Mariana Enriquez. Her work: tainted rivers, corrupted streets, spoiled meat, slain children, deeply registers the horror of known commonplace. She writes her stories, based in the atmosphere of truth, with a darkly descriptive poetic turn' PATTI SMITH Welcome to Buenos Aires, a city of nightmares and strange imaginings, where missing children come back from the dead and unearthed bones carry terrible curses. In this spine-chilling collection, Mariana Enriquez gives us twelve stories of murderous intentions, family betrayals and girls whose dark desires will lead them over the edge.
