Fantastically Creepy - March 2, 2017

Things We Lost in the Fire: Stories  by Mariana Enriquez
4.5 stars



As someone who is not a big fan of short stories or of anything scary, it is surprising just how much I loved this book.  Comprised of twelve stories set in Argentina, this novel contains ghosts, spirits, monsters and other bits of unimaginable creepiness while also exploring poverty, relationships, adolescence and mental illness.  The stories are creepy and often macabre but so fascinating and I would keep reading just to see what she came up with next.  I look forward to following this author and reading what else she writes.  I received this book from the Blogging for Books Program in exchange for an honest review.
