The Houseguest: And Other Stories by Amparo Dávila

medium-paced

3.0

Some of the shorts I really enjoyed, particularly “Tina Reyes” and “The Funeral.” For me the more real the fear the more monstrous it feels, which is probably why I liked those ones. However, it almost seemed like there were pairs of very similar stories when the collection maybe could have benefited from fewer more fleshed-out stories.
