Houseguest by Amparo Dávila | From Haunting Presences to an Unexpected Funeral

On this week's Thursday episode, Yajaira and Cheli review a collection of short stories written by Amparo Dávila where they discuss what the creature that lurks in the shadows of an ordinary house. This latest episode is a whirlwind tour of Amparo Dávila's spine-chilling stories (but we're only discussing a few)! We explore the peculiarities of a house guest with an eerie aura, and the growing fear of the lady of the house, who battles her husband's indifference towards this creepy stranger. We also dive into the ambiguous world of a woman, Maria Camino, who feels trapped within her own room and then eventually in her relationship. We also address the narrative's reflection on the Hispanic culture's limitations for women, leading them to feel ensnared in challenging situations. As we journey through this collection of short stories, we unravel layers of horror, mystery, and human psychology hidden deep within. So, are you ready for a thrilling ride through these uncanny tales?
