Summary

'An utterly brilliant measure of deep existential terror... You [will] return home looking pale and haunted' Observer

Sleep-deprived fathers conjuring phantoms; sharp-toothed children and stolen skulls; persecuted young women drawn to self-immolation. Organized crime sits side-by-side with the occult in Buenos Aires—a place where reality and the supernatural fuse into strange, new shapes.

These acclaimed gothic tales follow the wayward and downtrodden, revealing the scars of Argentina's dictatorship and the ghosts and traumas that have settled in the minds of its people. Provocative, brutal and uncanny, Things We Lost in the Fire is contemporary gothic at its darkest and best.

'The only book that's ever left me afraid to turn out the lights... mercilessly incisive and deeply creepy' Irish Times 'Books of the Year'

Was the narrator of this digital / AI? If not certainly sounded that way. Stories were okay, not super scary.

Interesting and disturbing stories. Unfortunately they ran into each other without much pause between stories. The narrator has a pleasant but monotonous voice which let down the excellent writing.

wonderful stories let down by monotonous narrating
