dark mysterious fast-paced

5.0

THE DANGERS OF SMOKING IN BED by MARIANA ENRIQUEZ translated by MEGAN MCDOWELL

This was fucking brilliant! Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize this year, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is a collection of twisted and dark horror stories from the mind of an Argentinian author. 

I loved each and every one of these stories and the darkness and gore and intrigue were spot on. Perfectly paced and wonderfully written. I don’t have a single negative word to say. 

Check trigger warnings if you’re unsure because these stories are sinister and not for the faint of heart. 

Loved this. I need more like it! 

Also, cover of the year? Definitely a contender.
