This collection of short stories kept me at the edge of my seat and holding my breath. Just when I thought I had it figured out, Enriquez would leave some open endings. While I'm usually not a fan of open endings, especially in horror, I didn't mind it with these short stories because not everything is a perfect cycle, and Enriquez used these open endings well.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC!

Another collection of short stories from the master of feminist literary horror. Enriquez is at the top of her game here. It’s amazing how almost each time I start a new one, about five pages in I’m convinced I’m just reading an engrossing, well-written short story about some people in an interesting situation in Buenos Aires, and then suddenly I remember that I’m reading a Mariana Enriquez book and that therefore things are about to get seriously weird and disgusting, and the bottom drops out of my stomach like I completely forgot that this nice uphill ride with great scenery is actually a freaking ROLLER COASTER. Contains a whole lot of body horror, but if that’s your thing, strap in, you’re gonna love this ride.

A very solid collection. Most stories were very enjoyable, there were a couple that didn’t resonate with me personally but I know others will love them.
Jon well done.

This genre was definitely out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed it very much. Thank you to NetGalley and the punisher for gifting me this arc.
