Things We Lost in the Fire
by Mariana Enríquez
"Buenos Aires burns beautiful in twelve stories of dread."
Haunted houses in slum neighbourhoods, disappearing children, women setting themselves alight as protest: Enríquez fuses Argentina's political ghosts with supernatural ones until you can't tell which is which. The collection that made her the reigning queen of Latin American horror.
Worth knowing
Translated into more than twenty languages; Enríquez has since become an International Booker shortlistee and a global horror phenomenon.
