A Sunny Place For Shady People

A delicious, diabolical collection of short stories, from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of Night

Mariana Enriquez's A Sunny Place for Shady People is her first story collection since the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, the occult and the macabre, the stories explore love, womanhood, LGBTQ counterculture, parenthood and Argentina's brutal past.

'Superb... a collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Mariana Enriquez [is] one of the best modern practitioners of the form... It is Enriquez's great gift that she can make stories with ugly subject matter so addictive and full of life... Unsettling' - Observer

'At her best, Enriquez has an unrivalled instinct for the subtly appalling image, a Lynchian (David, not Paul) sense of how horror inheres within the benign... Enriquez... is pretty much unbeatable' - Guardian

'This collection has raised the stakes for everybody in the [horror] genre to an entirely new level... enticing... deeply unsettling, darkly humorous and, like all good horror movies and books, you can't look away - even for a second' - NB magazine

'Superb... A collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Seductively gothic... [Enriquez] is at the height of her powers... at her fiercest, she sets down morbid manifestations of misogyny and female desire, rooted by a scythe-sharp, bone-dry humour... this might be her most untrammelled-and certainly her most unwavering-collection yet' - Prospect magazine

'Bleak and often brutal horror' - SFX magazine

'Terse and graphic ... an engaging view of inter-generational trauma and what happens to pain after death' - PA Media (syndicated review)

'At their best these stories superimpose supernational tension on ungovernable emotions' - Daily Mail

'Skin-crawling unease and psychological discomfort... striking... it offers a weighty read about the shadows that haunt humanity' - Straits Times

Nice starter skin care set that refined pores for a smoother and brighter complexion
This cleansing oil was purchased and arrived as a 3pc set that I have purchased. Along with this cleansing oil, it also came with the toner and closer pore reducing serum. I have been incorporating all three products into my daily skin care routine/regimen. So cleanse, tone, then moisturized. This cleanser is very gentle, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed after cleansing, to prepped it before I apply the toner and follow up with the Closer pore reducing serum as the last step. Overall, I really like this set. The Close serum has a thicker consistency than my other serum, but it applies well and also seem to absorbed fairly quickly, so it doesn't leave my skin/face feeling sticky.

I purchased this for a teenager. She said this is the only product she found to work well for her dark skin tone.

Better than the high end brands
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion has changed my skin. I am on year 6 of perimenopause, fun right! My skin at 50 yrs old was dry and I was experiencing cystic acne as well as regular acne !! Like why, seriously!? Anyway I had tried at least five different facial moisturizers, and some very expensive ones only to continue to have dry skin and acne. I purchased this on a whim, just hoping... and low and behold it worked atleast on the dryness, which helped the acne slightly! I incorporated in some zinc, magnesium, dim supplements and whalaah!! Acne and dry skin have been gone for 5 months now! My face and neck feel soft, moisturized, and I think the skin is even looking more tone.

Love this!
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best moisturizer I have found in a long time. It goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. No smell or greasy feel to it that I especially like. I had tried to order it sooner, but it said it wasn’t available right then from Amazon. I contacted the company by email and they let me know when it was back in stock plus a 15% coupon off my next order. So I ordered 4 more jars today.
