Seven Empty Houses by Samanta Schweblin
dark
tense
medium-paced
4.5
Seven Empty Houses is a collection of primo domestic horror a la Shirley Jackson. My favorites are "None of That" and "Breath from the Depths." "My Parents and My Children" was a bit of a different speed and had me laughing at the end. After reading this set of stories and her novel Fever Dream, I can say that Schweblin is now firmly on my list of favorite contemporary authors.
