Things We Lost in the Fire
Author: Mariana Enríquez
"Things We Lost in the Fire" is a captivating and chilling collection of short stories by the Argentine writer Mariana Enríquez, one of the most prominent new voices in contemporary Latin American literature. The twelve stories are set in modern Buenos Aires and other regions of Argentina, where the harshness of reality intersects with the bizarre and the invisible in daily scenes brimming with tension, violence, and dark beauty.
With a sharp style and remarkable psychological depth, Enríquez paints a world where familiarities transform into nightmares, and everyday details become symbols of fear, desire, and rebellion. Ghosts of the disappeared, women burdened by hidden violence, children fascinated by darkness — all inhabit a fragile space between reality and strangeness, between the personal and the political.
The author blends gothic horror literature with social commentary to reveal the wounds that still bleed in a society scarred by its past, while simultaneously showcasing humanity's capacity for survival, resistance, and love amidst the ashes. "Things We Lost in the Fire" is not merely a collection of stories; it is a literary experience that penetrates the depths of fear, desire, and humanity.
This collection has been translated into over twenty languages and received widespread critical acclaim, establishing its author as an heir to great horror writers like Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, but with an authentic Latin American voice that leaves a profound impact on the reader.
