Book overview

The spellbinding graphic adaptation of four stories from Mariana Enriquez's modern horror classic Things We Lost in the Fire

"Lucas Nine's nightmarish pictorial renditions of a brutal, violence-steeped contemporary Argentina bring something terrifyingly visceral to [Enriquez's] original text, while still leaving space for the reader's imagination to spin unseen further horrors."--Financial Times

 Electric, disturbing, and wholly original, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, and superstitions, there is also friendship, compassion, humor, and love.

Celebrated artist Lucas Nine transforms Enriquez's unique blend of literary horror into a mesmerizing graphic adaptation of four of her "phenomenal" (Vanity Fair) stories. Featuring more than 100 pages of full-color illustrations, this edition maintains the suspense and psychological terror of Enriquez's fiction, while adding new layers of visual meaning and immediacy to her "propulsive and mesmerizing" (New York Times) tales.
