Last Day of a Prior Life, (Audiobook)

<p><b>"A ghost story without ghosts that, beyond its formal elegance, explores loneliness, the cycles in which our lives revolve, and the immeasurable challenges of affection."--Mariana Enríquez, author of <i>Our Share of Night</i></b></p><p><b>In this contemporary ghost story, award-winning author Andrés Barba eerily explores how the past can hold us captive, as a woman encounters a boy with an otherworldly stare in an empty house.</b></p><p>While eagerly preparing a house for prospective buyers, a woman finds herself face to face with a strange sight: a seven-year-old boy who doesn't blink. Seemingly appearing and disappearing before her again and again, he sooner resembles an apparition. But one thing is clear: the boy wants something from her. Choosing to leave her everyday world behind, the woman steps through the looking glass, inadvertently nurturing a disturbing co-dependence and discovering a suspended time, a loop, and another life in the process.</p><p>Containing all the elements of a perfect ghost story, <i>Last Day of a Prior Life </i>is a richly atmospheric, disturbing, and dazzling gem of a novel that calls to mind the gothic tales of Shirley Jackson and the fractured realities of <i>Black Mirror</i>. Award-winning author Andrés Barba demonstrates his exquisite talent for dissecting human intimacy and excavating the links between past and present, while delivering a masterful exploration of human longing and the ties that bind us, even across time itself.</p><p>Translated from the Spanish by Lisa Dillman</p>
