<p>'An eerie mix of the familiar and unreal . . . the heat and toxic radiation – and the babble of inner voices – combine to create a hallucinatory vision.'</p>

<p>'A revelation'</p>
- El País,
<p>'Liliana Colanzi's short stories hit hard; they are creepy and beautiful in equal measure. They are excellent examples of this literary form – and how it can be utilized, bent and even transformed.'</p>
<p>'In <em>You Glow In The Dark</em> Liliana Colanzi doesn’t ease you in, she drops you straight into Latin American urban dystopias and eerie futures where Aymara myth collides with sci-fi and horror. These seven stories are fragmented, fearless, and completely original, making you flinch and question reality. It’s a bold, electric collection from a voice you won’t forget in a hurry.'</p>
- Samantha de Haas, 5 New Reads The Service95 Book Club Is Hyping This October
<p>'A wonderful, pungent, vivid and short collection of stories, part gothic horror, part sci-fi, which grew out of the jungle and the earth and the bloody history of South America.'</p>
- Mark Haddon,
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.
Unpredictable and vivid, You Glow in the Dark radiates in the reader’s mind long after the final page and announces a daring new voice in fiction.
From Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi comes a collection of short fiction: luminous and powerful.
