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

Great for walking all day at work as well
Size: X-Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / White
I walk approximately 10 miles a day at work, in a manufacturing setting. On concrete with steel toe shoes. My feet have been begging me to change from the socks that I have worn for years. I have worn these other name brand socks for probably 10 years. So, change was obviously something I had to be pushed into. I got on Amazon and searched for training socks. I read the description. Glanced at the reviews. I decided to move forward with purchasing these. I could not have been happier. My feet began feeling better immediately. And the priced was very reasonible.

You have one pair of feet. Treat them kindly with a pair of UA socks

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit

Great fit, truly doesn’t slide off heel
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium, Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’ve scoured all the lands looking for a no-show sock that was 1) thin, 2) quality, soft, breathable material, 3) didn’t dig into my feet/heels, 4) doesn’t shrink, and most importantly 5) stays on the back of my heel without a bulky non-slip rubber piece and these check all the boxes! Perfect for low profile women’s work shoes like Keds, etc. Not low enough for most flats though. I wear a women’s size 9.
