Critics Review

‘A weird and wonderful exploration of contemporary horror - cities falling apart, society turning on itself, the loneliness of the internet age -stories from that compelling space between grimy, crushing reality and nightmare. But more than that: these stories are fun.

Mariana Enriquez’s stories are smoky, carnal and dazzling’ - Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies
