La adaptación gráfica de cuatro relatos de una de las obras narrativas de terror más originales y sorprendentes del siglo XXI.
Un coche se encuentra abandonado de noche en medio de la llanura pampeana con un bidón de gasolina al lado. De repente, el vehÃculo estalla en llamas y vemos que, en su interior, una mujer está sentada al volante, sin inmutarse. A su lado descansa un libro en cuya portada leemos: Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego. Con esta potente sucesión de imágenes empieza la maravillosa adaptación a cargo de Lucas Nine de la célebre recopilación de cuentos homónima de Mariana Enriquez, una de las voces más rompedoras y originales del panorama actual, que encuentra en esta escena el hilo visual que conecta los cuatro relatos seleccionados: El chico sucio, Pablito clavó un clavito, El patio del vecino y Bajo el agua negra.

The most exciting discovery I've made in fiction for some time.--Kazuo Ishiguro
Phenomenal.--Vanity Fair
Violent and cool, told in voices so lucid they feel spoken.--The Boston Globe ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Boston Globe, Paste, Words Without Borders, Grub Street, Remezcla, Entropy Electric, disturbing, and exhilarating, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves, and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor. In these stories, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Julio Cortázar, three young friends distract themselves with drugs and pain in the midst a government-enforced blackout; a girl with nothing to lose steps into an abandoned house and never comes back out; to protest a viral form of domestic violence, a group of women set themselves on fire.
