SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 'Beautiful horrible... the most exciting
discovery I've made in fiction for some time' Kazuo Ishiguro 'Smoky carnal dazzling' Lauren
Groff Welcome to Buenos Aires a place of nightmares and twisted imaginings where missing
children come back from the dead and unearthed bones carry terrible curses. Thrumming with
murderous intentions family betrayals and morbid desires these stories shine a light on a
violent city gripped by urban madness giving voice to the lost the oppressed and the
forgotten. Lucid and darkly poetic unsettling and otherworldly these tales of revenge
witchcraft and fetishes are a masterpiece of contemporary Gothic and a bewitching exploration
of the dark inclinations that threaten to lead us over the edge. 'I loved these twisted
lustful whispers in the dark' Daisy Johnson 'Queen of Latin American gothic' Financial Times
