Things We Lost in the Fire: Four Graphic Stories: Four Graphic Stories

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

Electric, disturbing, and wholly "phenomenal" (Vanity Fair), 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 four of Enriquez's stories—"The Dirty Kid," "An Invocation of the Big-Eared Runt," "Under the Black Water," and "The Neighbor's Courtyard"—into a mesmerizing graphic adaptation of her unique blend of literary horror. Featuring more than 100 pages of full-color illustrations, this edition maintains the suspense and psychological terror of Enriquez’s fiction in Megan McDowell's celebrated translation, while adding new layers of visual meaning and immediacy to her “propulsive and mesmerizing” (New York Times) tales.
