? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

The short stories in You Glow in the Dark paint a haunting reality. Based in Latin America, but that’s all we know. It’s hard to decipher when the stories are set, and how much of them is fiction versus reality, but Liliana Colanzi incorporates elements of horror, humor, history, and fantasy in stories that follow a world plagued with greed, but maintain optimistic undertones.

Colanzi’s writing is hard to describe, but her talent is undeniable. She mixes together different worlds seamlessly, creating detailed settings and backgrounds that blend reality and dystopia together in a unique way. Although the stories can get dark, her writing and humor keep them bright and exciting.

Bite-sized reads. If you don’t have time to dedicate to a full novel, these short stories are a great option without compromising on quality and plot. The opening story, La Cueva, is the most popular, and is a great start to an all-around good read.

You can find the book on Amazon.
