Tristeza De Los Cítricos by Liliana Blum

A collection of unsettling short stories that probes the hidden rot in ordinary lives, following characters—often women—who confront obsession, predation, and the corrosive legacies of family and desire. Domestic spaces and intimate relationships become claustrophobic arenas where power imbalances, class tensions, and buried trauma fester, each tale peeling back the bright rind of normalcy to reveal a bitter, sometimes violent pulp. Threaded with dark humor and psychological acuity, it explores how emotional blight spreads through communities and generations, leaving behind scars that are as lingering as they are difficult to name.
