Este libro me encantó. La perturbación y los plot twists son simplemente *chef kiss*. Engancha un montón y te hace reflexionar a la vez que hace avanzar la historia de manera muy ligera y rápida, nada densa, lectura superdinámica y superecomendada.

Woodworm is a dark, feral little book that gets under your skin fast. It’s a haunted house story, but not in the usual way, Layla Martínez explores feminine horror through generations of women trapped in a crumbling home full of ghosts, saints, and memory.
The atmosphere is suffocating in the best way. You can feel the rot, the resentment, the rage. The grandmother-granddaughter dynamic is tense and brutal, with a mother-shaped absence that somehow haunts more than any ghost.
Martínez packs so much power into so few pages. I wanted just a little more, something longer to really stretch into but what’s here is sharp and emotionally raw.

Carcoma es una novela corta muy intensa, visceral y en donde, página a página, puedes notar el odio que consume a las protagonistas, un odio que incluso está por encima de la misma casa encantada.
De esas lecturas que crean imágenes potentes en tu cabeza y de las que sigues pensando en ellas una vez terminadas.

Beautiful. Was 5 stars but knocked off an entire star for that needless inclusion about animal cruelty that put that image in my head.
Otherwise, weird and wonderful and full of dark humor.
