A Sunny Place for Shady People reveals as much about ourselves as it does our ineffably strange, horrific world... A collection of brilliant nightmares from one of our best -- Paul Tremblay One of Latin America's most exciting authors -- Silvia Moreno-Garcia Enriquez's short stories had already made me a fan for life -- Kelly Link In Enriquez's fiction, blood isn't spattered off screen. It's splurged all over the picture -- Adam Thirlwell A mesmerising writer who demands to be read... Her fiction hits with the force of a freight train -- Dave Eggers
