I think this is definitely worth reading even if it left me a little dissatisfied ? I feel like i can’t really explain why. I loved the writing, the characters were super believable,  the horror was really good and it was really tied to the actual goings-on of the period in Argentina which was really sick. The story reminded me of Brand New Cherry Flavor a little. But

the ending left me a little off like he just killed his family and thats that? The thing in the ‘other place’ is just full now? His grandma was really that dumb? And wb adela???

anyways def recommend but didnt check all my boxes

Deeply disturbing. But very good. I was hooked the whole time, and I never quite knew what to expect.

An extremely unsettling supernatural epic set amidst the backdrop of the dictadura in Argentina. 

With its evocative and imaginative writing soaked with visceral images of gore and violence, this is a very challenging and difficult read. 

However, Enriquez’s masterful storytelling and characterisation make  OSON a really compelling and impactful book to immerse yourself in. 

I really enjoyed the multi character perspectives and the intersections between them. Definitely will reread again at a later date!
