Mariana Enriquez is one of those authors I had always meant to read and just never quite got around to it. When I got the chance to read her new collection, I jumped at the chance. It was everything I hoped it would be. The writing is beautiful, and there are horrors both supernatural and all too real, body horror and mythological terrors. I'll definitely be seeking out the rest of her works. 4.5 stars
