You Glow In The Dark

'An eerie mix of the familiar and unreal . . . the heat and toxic radiation – and the babble of inner voices – combine to create a hallucinatory vision.'

-- Anderson Tepper * Four New Books in Translation Test the Bounds of Reality *

-- Leah Rachel von Essen * The Violence of Human Folly in "You Glow in the Dark" by Liliana Colanzi *

'You Glow in the Dark is a mesmerizing mix of gothic horror and cyberpunk that will keep readers on their toes.'

-- Shannon Carlin * The 100 Must-Read Books of 2024 | You Glow in the Dark by Liliana Colanzi *

'A revelation'

-- El País

'Liliana Colanzi's short stories hit hard; they are creepy and beautiful in equal measure. They are excellent examples of this literary form – and how it can be utilized, bent and even transformed.'

In You Glow In The Dark Liliana Colanzi doesn’t ease you in, she drops you straight into Latin American urban dystopias and eerie futures where Aymara myth collides with sci-fi and horror. These seven stories are fragmented, fearless, and completely original, making you flinch and question reality. It’s a bold, electric collection from a voice you won’t forget in a hurry.
