Life Ceremony Cursed Bunny The Dangers of Smoking in Bed The Houseguest

Fiction in translation refers to works of fiction that have been originally written in one language and then translated into another language to reach a wider audience. It's a enthralling way to explore stories from different cultures, as it allows readers to access uncharted narratives and experience an alternate perspective.

🇯🇵 Life Ceremony Sayaka Murata
Mixing taboo-breaking body horror with feminist revenge fables, old ladies who love each other and young women finding empathy and transformation in unlikely places.

🇰🇷 Cursed Bunny Bora Chung
Blurring the lines between magical realism, horror, and science-fiction. Using elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real cruelties of patriarchy and capitalism in modern society in a genre-defying collection of short stories.

🇦🇷 The Dangers of Smoking in Bed Mariana Enriquez
A city thrumming with murderous intentions and morbid desires, where missing children come back from the dead and unearthed bones carry terrible curses. Unsettling tales of revenge, witchcraft, fetishes, disappearances and urban madness.

🇲🇽 The Houseguest Amparo Dávila
A collection of short-stories where nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp knife and delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures.
