Did not finish because I really felt that this wasn't the book for me. Dipped my toes into a genre and realized I was not equipped for it. Still worth a read if you like horror, just not for me.

A stunning collection of short stories, most gritty and some supernatural but all painting a vivid picture of Buenos Aires: beauty and culture alongside poverty, violence, drugs and corruption.

The writing is poetic and eminently readable and every story holds its own in the collection. ⭐️5/5⭐️
