Me dan miedo las películas de terror. No las miro porque me hacen mal.

The sentiment of parasite, but with a mix of gender as well as class consciousness and race.

Spirits, horrible men, and an ancestral curse on women.

The message could have felt too stretched, but it actually just comments on anyone with power and how they abuse it.

Thank you to the translators for making this book accessible in English. This is horror!!! This feels very new gothic. Slow and tense from the beginning, no clue what's coming or why yet the story is being told. Building dread throughout up to the finale. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Grotesque and haunted
