A Sunny Place For Shady People

A delicious, diabolical collection of short stories, from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of Night

Mariana Enriquez's A Sunny Place for Shady People is her first story collection since the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed. Featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, the occult and the macabre, the stories explore love, womanhood, LGBTQ counterculture, parenthood and Argentina's brutal past.

'Superb... a collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Mariana Enriquez [is] one of the best modern practitioners of the form... It is Enriquez's great gift that she can make stories with ugly subject matter so addictive and full of life... Unsettling' - Observer

'At her best, Enriquez has an unrivalled instinct for the subtly appalling image, a Lynchian (David, not Paul) sense of how horror inheres within the benign... Enriquez... is pretty much unbeatable' - Guardian

'This collection has raised the stakes for everybody in the [horror] genre to an entirely new level... enticing... deeply unsettling, darkly humorous and, like all good horror movies and books, you can't look away - even for a second' - NB magazine

'Superb... A collection of enthralling and sinister stories from one of Latin America's brightest stars' - Telegraph

'Seductively gothic... [Enriquez] is at the height of her powers... at her fiercest, she sets down morbid manifestations of misogyny and female desire, rooted by a scythe-sharp, bone-dry humour... this might be her most untrammelled-and certainly her most unwavering-collection yet' - Prospect magazine

'Bleak and often brutal horror' - SFX magazine

'Terse and graphic ... an engaging view of inter-generational trauma and what happens to pain after death' - PA Media (syndicated review)

'At their best these stories superimpose supernational tension on ungovernable emotions' - Daily Mail

'Skin-crawling unease and psychological discomfort... striking... it offers a weighty read about the shadows that haunt humanity' - Straits Times

Not Quite So Durable...
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball, Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
Maybe I have a SUPER aggressive chewer...he went through this ball in under a week. I originally bought the ball because of a review that stated the owner's Pitbull had the same ball for two years; not so much for my Rottweiler. He started chewing off and swallowing small crumbs from the ball within a day or two. By the end of the week, it was chunks so I had to toss it in the trash to prevent an intestinal obstruction. On the up side, my Rottweiler LOVED the ball while it lasted. However, I can't, in good conscience, give this ball a rave review based on this experience. Please take this review with a grain of salt as I have yet to find ANY toy that my boy won't DESTROY in a week or two. I hope that someone finds this informative when searching for chew toys for SUPER aggressive chewers like mine.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.
