Our Share of Night

Mariana Enriquez

A grieving father and his young son flee across 1980s Argentina to escape a wealthy occult family called the Order, who worship a malevolent entity known as the Darkness and want to use the boy as a vessel for immortality. Spanning decades and shifting narrators, the novel weaves the horrors of the cult's rituals together with the real-life terror of Argentina's military dictatorship. It is a sprawling literary horror epic about inherited trauma, power, and the bond between father and son rather than a conventional romance.
