3.5

didn’t enjoy as much as dangers of smoking in bed, the horror elements were a lot more subtle but still had some great stories. would love for mariana enriquez’s other works to be translated too

fave stories: the intoxicated years, adela’s house, spiderweb, no flesh over our bones

4.5

Una colección de cuentos muy difícil de leer en el mejor sentido posible. Muchos cuentos de terror clásico como casas abandonadas, o apariciones y desapariciones repentinas, pero lo que une a todo el libro son las voces de mujeres, creando personajes difíciles y complejos. No todos los cuentos me encantaron, pero comprendo a lo que la autora quería llegar, y para mí eso es suficiente. Están hechos con tanta delicadeza que no puedo darle otro rating que no sea casi cinco estrellas.

siento que el hype si me pego esta vez, siempre que alguien hablaba de este libro veía solo reseñas positivas, calificación de 5 estrellas, etc, entonces mis expectativas estaban por los cielos (lo cual nunca es bueno) y honestamente si me sentí un poco decepcionada. 

Algo que me gusta mucho en las historias de terror es que te dejen lo peor a tu imaginación, sin embargo, aquí estaba usado en CADA HISTORIA, lo cual lo volvió un poco molesto tbh, además, siento que a la mayoría de las historias les falto un poco más de información para que esto de los finales abiertos funcionara.
