Mariana Enriquez - A Sunny Place for Shady People

This new collection of macabre short stories by an International Booker Prize-shortlisted author delves into the seemingly ordinary lives of everyday people, where surreal, supernatural, and sinister threats, always keeping you on the edge of your seat, lurk just beneath the surface. The book is a testament to Enriquez's skill in weaving terror with literary finesse.

Layla Martinez - Woodworm

This powerful, compact book will leave you breathless. Two women, a grandmother and her granddaughter, live in a house that relentlessly haunts them with secrets and curses. The mysterious disappearance of a young boy forces them to confront their dark past and buried desires.

Olga Tokarczuk - The Empusium

The Nobel Prize Laureate returns with a historical feminist horror novel set in a health resort in Western Poland, where unspeakable terror unfolds. Suffering from tuberculosis, Mieczyslaw arrives at the resort seeking healing, only to uncover disturbing events within the house. The horror escalates until all the male residents are forced to confront the flaws in their understanding of the world—and of women.

K-Ming Chang - Cecilia

As they embark on a journey together on the same bus, they must confront a long-suppressed, dark desire.

Dahlia de la Cerda - Reservoir Bitches
