A dazzling horror-tinged debut novel from Spain set in a house haunted by shadows of the dead, for fans of Mariana Enriquez, Fernanda Melchor and Ottessa Moshfegh A grandmother and granddaughter live together uneasily in a house haunted by sombras, shadows of the dead, when the granddaughter is accused of a terrible crime.
