Description
Fernando Iwasaki's "Grave Goods" is a collection of ninety-eight pieces of flash fiction that explore the darker side of human experience. With a rare stylistic intuition, Iwasaki crafts stories that twist and turn fear into metaphor, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the final page is turned. These tales are often humorous in nature, re-creating or re-envisioning urban legends, coming from dreams, or born from the author's remarkable imagination. While intended to frighten or disconcert, Iwasaki's stories also reveal the sinister reality that lurks beneath everyday life. Translated into English for the first time, "Grave Goods" offers a unique glimpse into the work of one of Peru's best contemporary writers, showcasing his mastery of the horror genre in a way that is both unsettling and thought-provoking.
