Author Mariana Enríquez on domestic horror, repressed Catholics, and why fear is still the best engine for writing.
In this long conversation, Enríquez traces her influences — from English gothic to Buenos Aires street chronicles — and explains how she builds atmosphere without sacrificing pace.
She also talks about the Spanish-language reading community, translations, and what it means to publish horror while the genre still carries stigma.
