Mariana Enriquez, the writer that you are. Unmissable. Few horror books are as raw as this one.


Hace unos meses me metí de lleno a esta historia que me dejo impactada en mas de un sentido. Desde sus personajes tan bien estructurados, hasta su atmosfera que iba de uno a cien en pocos párrafos. Algunos días lo dejaba de lado para poder terminar de absorber todo lo que iba leyendo ya que es aterradoramente inmersivo. Algo que he aprendido en los últimos años es que el terror mas original actualmente lo tiene Latinoamérica aunque no he disfrutado todos de igual manera, aun así Nuestra parte de noche se lleva la corona.

Y es que su punto mas fuerte es lo normal que se lee, incluso las partes mas gore que entrega. Como algo que aunque no pueda tocarte, podría hacerlo en cualquier momento y estarías perdido para siempre. Les tengo un respeto especial a los buenos libros de terror escritos por mujeres porque Dios bendito, como dan el sablazo de repente. Alucinante.

Nuestra parte de noche es especial en todos los sentidos, una victoria en cada pagina.

gorgeously written gorgeously structured gorgeously translated. enriquez really knows how to disturb (the dangers of smoking in bed actually made me feel really nauseous when reading) but weaving together a narrative like this with multiple viewpoints and perspectives all becoming clear by the end is a true masterwork. LOVE IT

Finding it hard to rate this because it's so long and so disparate at time. There were parts I loved and parts that felt like such a slog to get through. But overall a really good book, I even read along with some of the early chapters in Spanish and found I really like her writing in both languages
