“...the best of the bunch offer a brand of horror that does away with allegory, pulling down the curtain and revealing the proximity between real life and terror.”

Two wicked-good translators

Very glad to have a new review in The Rumpus. Big thanks to Aram Mrjoian and Michael Barron for editing the piece and to Two Lines Press for the ARC. It is a beautiful anthology that I cannot recommend highly enough.

“A Horror That Cannot be Helped.” Great title for a fantastic review of THROUGH THE NIGHT LIKE A SNAKE: LATIN AMERICAN HORROR STORIES, the latest in our Calico Series. The Rumpus therumpus.net/2024/05/14/a-h…

More Hilbig imminent:

Nichola Smalley's translation of WRETCHEDNESS is amazing, we're very excited for PURITY.

Another translation from Swedish by Smalley, Johannes Anyuru's IXELLES (the follow up to THEY WILL DROWN IN THEIR MOTHERS' TEARS), is out from us in October!

Tonight in NYC! Vigdis Hjorth and Astrid Roemer, icons of Norwegian and Dutch-language literature, join the The Center for Fiction for a discussion of their groundbreaking novels.
