Do you glow in the dark?

In Liliana Colanzi’s singular collection of short stories, set in a Latin America at once real and otherworldly, human vice contaminates every page. Amid eerie near-future landscapes, in communities both ordinary and uncanny, and during the very real fallout of a nuclear disaster, Colanzi’s characters must contend with a poisoned legacy.

Unpredictable and vivid, You Glow in the Dark radiates in the reader’s mind long after the final page and announces a daring new voice in fiction.

'You Glow in the Dark is a mesmerizing mix of gothic horror and cyberpunk that will keep readers on their toes.' The 100 Must-Read Books of 2024, TIME

'An eerie mix of the familiar and unreal ... heat and toxic radiation ― and the babble of inner voices ― combine to create a hallucinatory vision.' The New York Times

'A revelation.' El País

'Lilana Colabzi's short stories hit hard; they are creepy and beautiful in equal measure. They are excellent examples of this literary form ― and how it can be utilized, bent and even transformed.' Jury of the Zinklar Prisen Award

'In Colanzi’s writing, reality is grander and weirder than we imagined.' Los Angeles Review of Books

'In [Colanzi’s] tales, violence is something in the air or soil, something ready to take us over or occupy our lives at any moment.' Chicago Review of Books
