So scawy it kept me up at night. Gruesome and beautiful. My stomach dropped multiple times - often right on the last page of each story.

dark emotional funny mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

é legal, mas muitos contos não se sustém até o final, porque a fórmula de revelar no fim o que é o horror pede força se você já captou antes. isso em si não é um problema, é só que a escrita da mariana enríqueza não se sustenta tanto mesmo. mas acho que ela brilha muito quando consegue, tipo com "dónde estás mi corazón" e "carne", que foram meus contos preferidos.

this was so interesting. the writing was very immersive but there were only two stories that really stuck with me; Where Are You, Dear Heart? and Meat, the rest kinda feel flat or felt incomplete.
