Praise for A Sunny Place for Shady People

“A Sunny Place for Shady People reveals as much about ourselves as it does our ineffably strange, horrific world. Enriquez’s characters’ desperate, longing struggle for meaning and hope has never been so poignant and beautiful, nor so damned chilling. A collection of brilliant nightmares from one of our best.”—Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Cabin at the End of the World
 
“When you gaze into the abyss, Mariana Enriquez looks up to you from those depths, grins to herself, and then gives her attention back to the next story she’s pulling into the world.”—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw

“More trademark Enriquez stories combining the macabre with explorations of womanhood, parenthood and the lasting legacy of Argentina’s military dictatorships.”—Lit Hub

“Vivid and unnerving, these stories confirm Enriquez as one of Latin America’s most original imaginations.”—The Bookseller, Editor’s Choice

“A masterful collection . . . these provocative tales are first-rate literary horror.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
