A Sunny Place for Shady People: Stories by Mariana Enríquez

I had high hopes for A Sunny Place for Shady People by Mariana Enriquez, especially since I loved her previous book, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. But this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It’s a collection of horror stories, some inspired by real events like the Elisa Lam case at the Cecil Hotel, but many of the stories felt underdeveloped or unfinished. I often found myself confused at the end, wondering if I’d missed something. While Enriquez’s talent for eerie, unsettling atmospheres is still there, I was left wanting more from the stories overall.
