What readers think of Good and Evil and Other Stories, plus links to write your own review.

Samanta Schweblin is among the top names in the flourishing world of South American horror, and the stories in Good and Evil again proves why her writing continues to haunt us. Nestled perfectly between realistic human tragedy and surrealism, her writing consistently lays bare the interior motivations and fears that threaten to lead us toward monstrosity. At its core, Good and Evil is a collection about aging and what we owe to ourselves and our youth; another triumph from Schweblin. Beautifully translated by Megan McDowell, in prose that shimmers with a sort of menacing lyricism, the stories of Good and Evil are powerfully evocative and unsettling. They seem to hover, indeed like fever dreams, between the reassuring familiarities of domestic life and the stark, unpredictable, visionary flights of the unconscious. Schweblin and veteran translator McDowell trace the slim barrier between perception and reality with masterful narration, piercing dialogue, stealthy wit, and psychological precision. … Outrageously original and deeply felt stories with an indelible effect
