The houseguest and other stories

Amparo Dávila Santiago Caruso Matthew Gleeson Audrey Harris First published 2018

About this book

With acute psychological insight, Dávila follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, insomnia, and fear. She is a writer obsessed with obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures. After reading The Houseguest--Dávila's debut collection in English--you'll wonder how this secret was kept for so long.
