"Lo miro como una bruja, como una asesina, como si tuviera poderes."
Nunca había leído a Mariana Enriquez, y me lleve una increíble sorpresa, como saben yo soy cero de cosas de terror (por qué soy súper miedosa) pero está antología de cuentos hiso que me diera cuenta que a veces vale la pena asustarse para saber el final de las historias.
El parque de la casa se llenaba de sombras, que corrían, que saludaban burlonas
Me encantó que el terror de Mariana no sólo radica en un 'scare jump' o en fantasmas, ella lleva el terror a la cotidianidad, el terror del día a día, dónde la protagonista siempre es femenina, nos lleva a conocer la mente de las personas, sus miedos, lo que estamos dispuestos a hacer por la libertad, el internet, la voz que tenemos en nuestras mentes, etc.
"¿No los escuchas?¿No escuchas los tambores de ese culto de muertos?
Uno de los mejores libros que he leído este año.
PD. Mi relato favorito fue el último (el que le da su título al libro)
