A sunny place for shady people by Mariana Enríquez is a collection of horror short stories that leave you wanting more more MORE. Seriously these short stories were so captivating, so unique, so disturbing in the best way that I was bummed every time they ended and yet sooo excited to read the next one.
Enríquez isn’t just writing about things that go bump in the night. Her stories highlight and spotlight the ever present horrors: of being queer in a world that does not feel safe, of mothers passing down their wounds to their daughters, of the agony of grief and loss and regret.
These twelve stories are folkloric, unsettling and yet deeply moving. You are likely to see yourself in at least one of these stories.
