About World Wide Weird: Mariana Enríquez and Mona Awad
The closing event of this year’s Tales of the Weird festival is a special online only conversation with some of the world’s finest and most unsettling authors.
Live from Argentina we welcome the incomparable Mariana Enríquez, whose most recent works include Somebody is Walking on Your Grave, an extraordinary gothic journey through the world’s cemeteries, and the haunting stories of A Sunny Place for Shady People.
And she is joined from Canada by Mona Awad, author of cult classic novel Bunny which blended sharp satire with fairytale horror, and its brand new, wickedly intoxicating successor, We Love You, Bunny, dubbed ‘Frankenstein by way of Heathers’.
