The Houseguest: And Other Stories by Amparo Dávila

challenging dark tense medium-paced

5.0

This book was incredible. Davila truly knew how to invoke someone’s fear and anxiety. Her familiarity with fear is so precise as she seems to know more about my fear than I do; I realized this when I found myself terrified of a toad in Musique Concréte. Truly I was delighted with the writing, with the ability to pinpoint to the root of our paranoia without being so obvious.
