Things We Lost in the Fire

£18.99

A car is found abandoned at night in the middle of the Argentine Pampas, with a jerrycan of gasoline beside it. Suddenly, the vehicle bursts into flames, and we see that, inside, a woman is sitting behind the wheel, unfazed. Beside her rests a book with the title Things We Lost in the Fire. So begins Lucas Nine’s graphic novel adaptation of the renowned short story collection of the same name by Mariana Enriquez – one of the most groundbreaking and original voices writing today.

Description

Dark, disturbing, uncanny and unforgettable, a mix of horror, folklore and social commentary, 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, humour 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 Neighbour's Courtyard' – into a mesmerizing graphic adaptation of Enriquez's unique blend of literary horror.
