Fantastical, uncanny, weird. All good, to me. A small but beautifully formed collection of strange stories. It's difficult writing this type of story without wandering off into the genre of fantasy or leaning too hard against fairy tale or myths, but Schweblin pitches it right. More would have been good. My grateful thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

In Good and Evil and Other Stories, Samanta Schweblin once again proves herself a master of unsettling fiction. This forthcoming collection distills the eerie brilliance of her style into six taut, dreamlike tales that linger just beyond the edge of reason. Blending the surreal with the deeply human, Schweblin explores guilt, grief, and the fragile architecture of familial bonds. With her signature precision and quiet dread, each story pulses with emotional tension, revealing moments of everyday life cracked open by the uncanny. It’s a haunting, elegant addition to Schweblin’s already remarkable body of work.
