ABOUT THE BOOK
The first collection in English of a master storyteller from Mexico.
Like those of Kafka, Poe, Leonora Carrington or Shirley Jackson, Amparo Dávila’s stories are unsettling, mesmerizing and expertly crafted. With acute psychological insight, Dávila follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, insomnia and fear. She is a writer obsessed with obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness cuts like a razor-sharp knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, and delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures.
Translated from the Spanish by Audrey Harris and Matthew Gleeson.
