Revue de presse :

'Bright with brilliance... The stories [create] a sensibility as distinctive as that found in Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son. They are a portrait of a world in fragments, a mirrorball made of razor blades'--Guardian

'An utterly brilliant measure of deep existential terror ... you [will] return home looking pale and haunted' --Guardian 'Best Summer Reads'

'The only book that s ever left me afraid to turn out the lights... mercilessly incisive and deeply creepy'' -- --Irish Times'

'Slim but phenomenal... The spookiness of these 12 stories sets into the reader's mind like a jet stone, sparkling through all that darkness'--Vanity Fair

'Fiction doesn't get much better than this'--John Ajvide Lindqvist, author of Let the Right One In

'Teeming with death, sex and the macabre, this short-story collection by one of Argentina's rising literary talents might best be described as Buenos Aires gothic' ----Best Summer Books, Financial Times

'Propulsive and mesmerising... I will be haunted for some time by this book'--New York Times Book Review

'Enríquez is a mesmerizing writer who demands to be read... her fiction hits with the force of a freight train'--Dave Eggers, author of The Circle

'An utterly brilliant measure of deep existential terror ... you [will] return home looking pale and haunted' ----Best Summer Reads, Guardian
