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

Durability
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
won’t give this product 1 star because my dog still had a good time with it for a few hours. After opening and preparing it, I gave it to my dog and it definitely caught his interest. However, when he chewed on it, plastic pieces started breaking off and he began swallowing them. This product is definitely not suitable for aggressive chewers.

Winner !!!
Color: Orange
This amazed us. For perspective, we're talking about a three year old white german shepherd who if he's in the mood, has and can kill a toy within minutes or oddly enough be gentle with furry balls and carry them around as if they are his babies. He's an odd duck. Anyway, since he was a pup, and to this day, he'll play and entertain himself, he'll grab a ball, throw it up in the air, then pounce on it as if it's from outer space. It's really quite cute and funny. Because of those two things I was looking for something interactive that would entertain him and confuse him....let's be honest, watching a confused dog is one of life's great pleasures. I tried two other interactive balls and they were crushed immediately. After reading a lot of reviews, people with german shepherds said this ball actually had a life span. I thought the third time could be the charm and ordered one. Well, I think it actually may be from outer space because he's obsessed with it and hasn't taken a bite out of it. He hasn't once chewed it or even teared little pieces off. The three settings are great. Sometimes he likes one better than another, then forgets about the others. I'll change it up to one he hasn't seen in a while and the whole game starts over again. He'll throw it up in the air as he does with his others, watch it and try to figure out which way it's going to go. And yes, he will pounce on it if he times it right. The size is perfect, it's heavier than your average ball but, that's what make it sturdy. I have to sneak it away when he isn't paying attention to charge it, otherwise he'll sit, stare and cry if he knows it's on the counter charging. It's a lot of fun for all of us. I'm so happy I bought it...... I say give this ball a chance even if you have a beast with killer instincts. I'm buying another for a friends 2 year old golden retriever granddog. Thank you Cheerble.

Repeat buy for us!
This cocoa butter has become a staple in our household. Skin types range from extremely dry to somewhat "normal" yet we've found this product to be moisturizing for all. The soft scent of cocoa butter is not overwhelming at all and the texture is a bit thicker which is definitely helpful to moisturize during our dry and colder months in Minnesota.
