I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is so much amazing horror lit coming out of Argentina. I was fortunate to have to chance to read A Sunny Place For Shady People which is a compilation of short stories by Mariana Enriquez. Having read Our Share of Night, I was eager to read her short form work and it is fantastic. The writing is haunting and impactful and intrinsically tied to Argentina and its people. This writer has become an instabuy for me. 

I really enjoyed every story in this collection and feel that it offered a nice variety. Some touched on the more modern with urban legends and online fixations such as black eyed kids, ouija boards, and Elisa Lam. Some were reflective and focused on trauma of the past rippling out into the present. A pervasive feeling of dread? Something reflective? Some wicked humor? It’s all here.

If you are looking for a great well rounded short story horror collection or are a fan of Mariana Enriquez’s writing this is a must read. 

Thank you very much to NetGalley and the publisher. I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
