'A mesmerising mix of gothic horror and cyberpunk that will keep readers on their toes.' TIME, The 100 Must-Read Books of 2024 'A hallucinatory vision.' New York Times From Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi comes a collection of short fiction, luminous and powerful. Winner of the Premio de Narrative Breve Ribera del Duero Prize 2022 | Winner of the Zinklar Award 2025 for Short Story Writers | A TIME Must-Read Book of 2024 DO YOU GLOW IN THE DARK? In Liliana Colanzi's singular collection of short stories, set in a Latin America at once real and otherworldly, human vice contaminates every page. Amid eerie near-future landscapes, in communities both ordinary and uncanny, and during the very real fallout of a nuclear disaster, Colanzi's characters must contend with a poisoned legacy. For readers of Mariana Enríquez, Sayaka Murata and Roberto Bolaño, You Glow in the Dark radiates in the reader's mind long after the final page and announces a daring new voice in fiction. 'A revelation.' El País 'In Colanzi's writing, reality is grander and weirder than we imagined.' Los Angeles Review of Books
