Abstract

The objective of this work is to reflect on how Mariana Enriquez writes the historical horror in her novel Nuestra parte de noche. His stories take the form of the horror genre, but often contain a story of historical horror. In the context of the dictatorship and the disappearances, Mariana Enriqez metaphorically thematizes the attempt to restore the story of the bodies that have suffered the most extreme horror.
