Refrescan las voces así: que pareciera que sólo escriben. Que sólo te cuentan.
Mariana crea un imaginario gore entregado de forma tan lacónica y deadpan que resulta, de cierta manera, chistoso.
El horror entra entre risas.
Favoritos:
El desentierro de la angelita.
Pone el tono. Un bebe zombie, deshaciéndose, pudriéndose frente a su pariente, que simplemente la saca a pasear. Los mejores cuentos serán así: terror que ocurre y que no inmuta a las protagonistas, que no supera el terror exiatencial.
El algibe
Terror enserio. Similar a un malviaje de ácido en el que crees que ya te quedaste loco y que ves a la cara el abismo de la aniquilación total de tu vida.
Donde estas corazón y Carne
Alegorías ambas sobre la obsesión. Una libido tan desenfrenada que necesita romper la caja torácica o comerse al objeto amado.
Cuando hablábamos con los muertos , La Rambla Triste y Ni cumpleaños ni bautizos.
Las tres, de cierta manera, sugieren el descomunal poder del más allá malevolente. A veces basta con un roce o una visita única u ocasional para descolocar una vida humana por completa y lanzarla al abismo del horror más profundo.

These stories are both fascinating and terrifying; the subject matter is truly powerful.
