Description
In these haunting, sharply observed tales, a series of unsettling encounters unfolds—from a woman who seems to acquire a tigress’s soul, to a sinister boarding house where ordinary lives curdle into dread. Other stories follow an epidemic of rats, an obsessive smoker trapped in spiraling compulsion, and a collector devoted to unusual leaves, each narrative turning on the thin line between fascination and fear. With Lygia Fagundes Telles’s distinctive blend of psychological intensity and lyrical precision, the collection explores identity, obsession, and the uncanny forces that can invade the everyday. Darkly atmospheric and deeply human, these stories invite readers to question what we inherit, what we desire, and what—quietly—takes hold.
