These are twelve tales of horror, twelve stories about horror: about the evil that lurks and the monsters that suddenly emerge in the most everyday reality, in large cities or remote small towns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn one of the stories, a woman keeps at bay the ghosts that roam loose in a peripheral neighborhood of Buenos Aires; among them, those of her mother who died of a painful illness, those of teenagers murdered in the street, that of a thief caught mid-robbery, and that of a boy fleeing a express kidnapping. In another story, a couple rents a house for a vacation in a town that has been losing inhabitants since the train stopped running; they visit an exhibition of disturbing canvases by a local artist in the abandoned station, but the truly terrifying thing will be meeting the author of those paintings. In another piece, volunteers from an NGO distributing food in marginalized neighborhoods are pursued by children with terrifying black eyes. In another, a journalist investigating the story of a girl who disappeared in a Los Angeles hotel, whose chilling images went viral online, ends up confronting another legend of the city...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter her monumental and acclaimed novel *Our Share of Night*, Mariana Enriquez returns to the short story and proves that she is still in top form as a great continuer and renovator of the horror genre, which she has elevated to the highest literary levels. Starting from tradition – from gothic novels to Stephen King and Thomas Ligotti – the writer explores new paths, new dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sur Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44150010904627,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/4281\/5539\/files\/9.png?v=1774524509","url":"https:\/\/www.surbooks.com.au\/en\/products\/un-lugar-soleado-para-gente-sombria-mariana-enriquez","provider":"Sur Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
