520    "Like those of Kafka, Poe, Leonora Carrington, or Shirley 
       Jackson, Amparo Dávilas stories are terrifying, 
       mesmerizing, and expertly craftedyoull finish each one 
       gasping for air.With acute psychological insight, Dávila 
       follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, 
       insomnia, and fear. She is a writer obsessed with 
       obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the 
       everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp 
       knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, delusion 
       takes the form of strange and very real creatures."--Back
