مكان مشمس للأشخاص الكئيبين

#### “A Sunny Place for Gloomy People” is a captivating and disturbing collection of stories about people’s lives turned upside down by terrifying, surreal or supernatural events. In the story “The Mourning Dead,” * a poor neighborhood is plagued by a ghost epidemic. The only one who can solve the problem is a woman who has learned how to coexist with ghosts. In the story “Birds of the Night,” the river banks are filled with birds that were once suffering women. In the story that bears the title of the collection, a hotel is haunted by the ghost of a girl who was found bloated in a water tank on the roof. This mysterious incident becomes a prelude to the formation of a cult that meets to perform rituals in anticipation of any signs of life from the girl's ghost. The stories of Mariana Enriquez's world embody the dark sides of modern society, where there is no longer a distinction between good and evil. By blending horror, the supernatural, and apocalyptic events with real-life events, Enriquez gives voice to the oppressed, the lost, and the forgotten, especially girls and women, and to Argentina's turbulent and brutal history. Mariana Enriquez is one of the most prominent writers of modern South American literature, and is considered a pioneer of contemporary horror literature. "Vivid and indispensable like Kafka's stories." Minneapolis Star Tribune “These tales conjure fear of the horrors of everyday life in a way that is entertaining, political, and wonderfully terrifying.” Los Angeles Times newspaper
