I really enjoyed this short story collection. The author is Argentine and always enjoy reading books from Argentine authors because my mom was born there. The stories were not all necessarily horror (most were) but they were all haunting and spooky. 

Some were extremely disturbing, this book is definitely not for the faint of heart. The most disturbing was No Birthdays Or Baptisms. I still liked it but wouldn't read it again. 

My favourite story was definitely the titular one, it was super short but sad and melancholy in such an ordinary way it's the type of thing l'd like to write myself. Other favourites were The Cart, The Well, Meat, and Where Are You Dear Heart.

perturbador y repugnante
mucha caca, semen y sangre para mi gusto, igualmente que lo cotidiano se convierta en terror y poco a poco cada historia se haga más intensa llegando al final habla de lo fabulosa que es Mariana Enriquez
