This was super interesting and gave me Cortazar’s ‘Noche de la boca arriba’ vibes for sure. Not a horror story imo. More drama/thriller magical realism? When/where it was published and by whom is really important to the story and i think even tho maybe not my favorite story ever  it is an important one and def a must-read. Written wonderfully.
