The International Bestseller

'Just stellar - extreme, uncanny and beautifully controlled' - Anne Enright, Booker Prize winning author of The Wren, The Wren
'These stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside' - Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon

The strange and explosive new collection from the incomparable imagination of Samanta Schweblin, a master of the short story.

A gripping blend of the raw, the astonishing and the tragic, every story is as perfectly unexpected as a snare: tightly, exquisitely wound, ready to snap at a touch.

Here, a young father is haunted by the consequences of a moment of distraction; tragedy is complicated by the inexplicable appearance of an injured horse; an attempted poisoning leads two writers to startling conclusions; a lonely woman’s charity is rewarded with home-invasion. And in the shocking opening story, a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house, where she saw something awful yet alluring.

Guilt, grief and relationships severed permeate this mesmerizing collection – but so do unspeakable bonds of family, love and longing, each sinister and beautiful. Step by step these unnerving stories lure us into the shadows to confront the monsters of everyday life – ourselves.

‘No one writes like Samanta Schweblin’ – Lorrie Moore, author of I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home

Resumo da Crítica

Just stellar - extreme, uncanny and beautifully controlled (Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The Wren )
Remarkably taut, clear, precise, and yet capable of capturing the extent of our human messiness, these stories are perfect for the times we dwell inside (Colum McCann, author of Apeirogon)
Six fine narrators perform works that take the listener to Europe and Argentina, presenting characters in crisis. While all do exceptional work, Alma Cuervo’s cadence, eloquent style, and measured delivery of “A Fabulous Animal,” Victoria Villarreal’s portrayal of the youthful narrator of “The Woman from Atlántadita,” and Jamie K. Brown’s powerful delivery of the dramatic “Eye in the Throat” are especially powerful.
I’ll be staying at home and reading lots over summer – several books by Samanta Schweblin; I recommend her Good and Evil and Other Stories. She is a fabulous writer. Her stories are subtle, always haunting and deeply human (Isabel Allende, author of The Wind Knows My Name)
Time and again in her masterful new collection, Schweblin creates characters whose lifelines reach some of the most extraordinary questions ever articulated in our literature (Karen Russell, author of The Antidote)
Samanta Schweblin is one of the most exciting writers in the world (George Saunders)
No one writes like Samanta Schweblin. Her narratives are sui generis - wonderfully unpredictable and invitingly strange (Lorrie Moore, author of I am Homeless if This Is Not My Home)
Samanta Schweblin combines the urgent propulsion that characterizes all great storytelling with precise, if uncanny, descriptions of human feelings that often go unnamed, those ambiguous zones of human reality where awe, dread, and desire mingle (Siri Hustvedt, author of Memories of the Future)
These stories understand the secret moments and strange connections that resonate through a person's life - and they explore these intimacies with a razor sharp edge. Samanta Schweblin is at the top of her game (Heather Parry, author of Carrion Crow)
These beautifully crafted and eerily unsettling stories completely hypnotised me. This is the sort of storytelling which resonates in the head, the heart and all mysterious parts in between. I wish I could write like this (Jan Carson, author of The Raptures)
Samanta Schweblin has a rare ability to write stories that are more than just stories . . . She understands the delicate and monstrous music that is shaped from our shadows, from the ghosts we carry within us. That is why to read her is to remember; to read her is to witness, in bewilderment, a miracle made of disturbance and light (Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh)
