21/3/2024. Presentation of the book A Sunny Place for Dark People by the Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez. Anagrama Synopsis: Whoever dares to delve into the pages of this book will feel a shiver running down their spine, and a few other things. There are twelve horror stories, twelve tales about horror: about the evil that lurks and the monsters that suddenly emerge in the most everyday reality, in large cities or small remote towns. Terror, in Mariana Enriquez's stories, slides like a gasp of black water on tiles in the sun. Like something impossible that, however, could happen. Leila Guerriero Mariana Enriquez is a fascinating writer who demands to be read. Her fiction hits us with the force of a freight train.
