A review by marleens
Seven Empty Houses by Samanta Schweblin

reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

I was misled by the Goodreads shelves: quite a few people have tagged this one as horror, but it really isn’t. In my opinion this is pure literary fiction. The book contains 7 stories, 6 short ones, and one longer story. I definitely liked the longer story, Breath from the Depth, the best. Some of the others were okay, and some didn’t work for me at all. Since I preferred the longer story, that makes me hopeful I’ll like Schweblin’s full length novels better.
