This book is beautiful written, it tells complex stories that explore a range or difficult topics like poverty, domestic violence, isolation in way that only horror can do. However I wouldn't say this is a book for the faint of heart all of it feels very very real and can be very graphic so make sure you read the content warnings before you dive in. Some stories I contected to more than others and the last one that the book is named after "The Things We Lost In The Fire" was absolutely beautifully heart breaking and I very much contected to it.

A dark, eerie, and atmospheric collection of stories. All the stories felt deeply intimate yet reflective of society overall. The stories intersect with poverty, crime, sexism, and Argentina’s history. The horror is not always the unexplained or supernatural, it’s the darkness of reality. 

As with all collections, some stories were more gripping than others. I definitely recommend if you are looking for something spooky and atmospheric, but trigger warning for like everything.
