Description
“A masterpiece of literary horror.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A woman’s mysterious death puts her husband and son on a collision course with her demonic family in the first novel to be translated into English by the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed—“the most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time” (Kazuo Ishiguro).
ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2023: Oprah Daily, BuzzFeed, Elle, Electric Lit, Book Riot, BookPage, The Rumpus, World Literature Today, CrimeReads, Lit Hub, Publishers Weekly
“Monumental.”—The New York Times
“A magnificent accomplishment.”—Alan Moore
“One of Latin America’s most exciting authors.”—Silvia Moreno-Garcia
A young father and son set out on a road trip, devastated by the death of the wife and mother they both loved. United in grief, the pair travel to her ancestral home, where they must confront the terrifying legacy she has bequeathed: a family called the Order that commits unspeakable acts in search of immortality.
For Gaspar, the son, this maniacal cult is his destiny. As the Order tries to pull him into their evil, he and his father take flight, attempting to outrun a powerful clan that will do anything to ensure its own survival. But how far will Gaspar’s father go to protect his child? And can anyone escape their fate?
Moving back and forth in time, from London in the swinging 1960s to the brutal years of Argentina’s military dictatorship and its turbulent aftermath, Our Share of Night is a novel like no other: a family story, a ghost story, a story of the occult and the supernatural, a book about the complexities of love and longing with queer subplots and themes. This is the masterwork of one of Latin America’s most original novelists, “a mesmerizing writer,” says Dave Eggers, “who demands to be read.”
Commentaires
“Our Share of Night conjures a poetry of dread, artfully employing the vocabulary of supernatural horror as the one voice capable of articulating Argentina’s unspeakable history. With realism in its magic and magic in its realism, this is a magnificent accomplishment and a genuine work of power.”—Alan Moore, author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta
“A singular, soul-rattling novel with urgent moral questions about greed, injustice, and inheritance at its core . . . In Our Share of Night, the relentless quest for power is not just over a people and a country but earthly life itself. I’ve never read anything like it, and I’ll never forget my time in Enriquez’s mesmerizing world.”—Jessamine Chan, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good Mothers
“Mariana Enriquez is a visionary. Our Share of Night is like nothing I’ve ever read—a compulsive page-turner, a dark fantasy so grounded in sensation that it reads like realism. She conjures a brutal, voluptuous world where nothing is as it appears. I’m still looking over my shoulder.”—Jennifer Haigh, bestselling author of Mercy Street

Supernatural family disfunction, at it's finest
"Ghosts are real, and the ones who come aren't always the ones you called."
Serial murdering immortality seeking cultists and supernatural family disfunction, at it's finest.
A solid 4+ Stars!! Very well done. Excellent story and narration.

This Story Grew on Me
Although I was disappointed with the ending, the sum of the whole is what really matters with this one. It’s been a few days since I finished the book yet I still have an unsettling feeling in my bones. It was an interesting ride.

Magnificent. Left me wanting more
Mariana Enriquez has a gift for expressing a level of the beyond, the cosmic, the terror of the unknown and the unseen impossible threats that lie within the darkness that surpasses the creeping horror of southern gothic, as well as with Lovecraft was trying to do with the greater unknowns of the darkest corners of the human mind and its imagining of different and twisted planes of existence. Absolutely spellbinding, occasionally meandering, but in that if you’re hoping for body horror with no subtlety, no fleshed out history of the characters and their part of the world/motivations, you may lose patience but you will only gain a richer understanding of the extent of the horror for it.

Far too long
Ending was anti climatic. Difficult to connect with characters. Underlying plot was interesting, just over extended.

Disgusting and boring
What a combo. I tried, but I can't finish. Graphic child abuse, torture, rape. Unsympathetic main characters. Am returning this one.

Moody and mystical
A fine mix of coming of age, cult spookiness, and the fraught and hyper present processing of familial trauma and disability. Really good stuff.

boring
I can't believe I wasted a credit on this garbage. Why someone would give such a great review for this book is beyond me.
