The Houseguest: And Other Stories by Amparo Dávila

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense

4.0

what an arresting and haunting collection of short stories! amparo dávila weaves her tales around the creeping sense of horror that arises from the unknown, from what cannot be categorised, and from what cannot be confirmed. it isn't the sort of horror that would pop you out of your pants, but it is thoughtful, with each story having their respective important message to convey.
