quick and unsettling lil novel - can you tell I’m in my “trying out horror” era? I liked this a lot better than the other Schweblin novel I’ve read (Little Eyes), but I don’t have a lot to say about it because it was so short. fun format (all in dialogue), creepy kids, mysterious illness, soul swapping - why not?

Uneasy, elliptical novella unfolds as a fragmented dialogue between a dying woman and a mysterious boy, blurring lines between memory, hallucination, and environmental horror. Schweblin’s spare prose and disquieting tone create a haunting mood, but the abstract structure and opaque storytelling frustrate as much as they intrigue.
