Horror & Thriller (61) Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 2.5 Stars (  )  moonlit.shelves | May 19, 2023 |  Short stories from Argentina, mostly teenage behaviour, with drugs, alcohol, superstition, friendships, suicide, ghosts, and more. Very readable, sometimes hard to face subjects, but moreish, and enjoyable. Dark humour and realistic. Uncomfortable and culturally sound. (  ) AChild | Jan 15, 2023 | This collection of short stories is not for the faint of heart. The stories start in the vein of South American magical realism, but as they progress, the author mixes folklore with horror, sometimes with disturbing scenes that the reader will have a hard time forgetting. Interestingly, in several of the stories the author treats depression, anxiety and other mental conditions as horrors, not merely diseases, but spooky horrors. Lovers of paranormal stories will be delighted, but impressionable readers must be warned. ( ) GrettelTBR | Nov 15, 2022 | An uneven collection with hits and misses. When it hits, it hits hard but there's also weaker efforts that let it down (the last two tales including the titular one made for a weak finish). There's also only so many samey ghost stories you can read before it all blurs into one but I'll allow that might have been an intended effect, creating an alternate Argentina where these creepy things all coexist. (  ) ElegantMechanic | May 28, 2022 | Argentine writer Marianne Enriquez has a deft hand with these noir stories, consisting of some horror, and some of a more paranormal bent. One of my favorites involved street kids believed to have been killed, returning in droves as if from the dead. Enriquez has a way of building tension and then ending the story just as the horror is set to begin. It’s an effective technique, but as almost every story follows this pattern, I personally would have enjoyed some stories using a different arc.

"Mariana Enriquez has been critically lauded for her unconventional and sociopolitical stories of the macabre: populated by unruly teenagers, crooked witches, homeless ghosts, and hungry women, they walk the uneasy line between urban realism and horror. The stories in her next collection are as terrifying as they are socially conscious, and press into being the unspoken -- fetish, illness, the female body, the darkness of human history -- with unsettling urgency. A woman is sexually obsessed with the human heart; a lost, rotting baby crawls out of a backyard and into a bedroom; a pair of teenage girls can't let go of their idol; an entire neighborhood is cursed to death by a question of morality they fail to answer correctly. Written against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with resounding tenderness towards those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, this new collection from one of Argentina's most exciting writers finds Enriquez at her most sophisticated, and most chilling"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
