'A weird and wonderful exploration of contemporary horror - cities
falling apart, society turning on itself, the loneliness of the
internet age -stories from that compelling space between grimy,
crushing reality and nightmare. But more than that: these stories
are fun. Wild, triggering, sinister, button-pushing fun' - Lisa
McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
'After you've lived in Enriquez's marvellous brain for the time it
takes to read THE DANGERS OF SMOKING IN BED, the known world feels
ratcheted a few degrees off-centre. Mariana Enriquez's stories are
smoky, carnal and dazzling' - Lauren Groff, author of Fates and
Furies
