| Summary, etc.: | "A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, goblins, and the macabre. Welcome to Argentina and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imagination of Mariana Enriquez. In twelve spellbinding new stories, Enriquez writes about ordinary people, especially women, whose lives turn inside out when they encounter terror, the surreal, and the supernatural. A neighborhood nuisanced by ghosts, a family whose faces melt away, a faded hotel haunted by a girl who dissolved in the watertank on the roof, a riverbank populated by birds that used to be women--these and other tales illuminate the shadows of contemporary life, where the line between good and evil no longer exists"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Language Note: | Translated from Spanish to English. |
