Enriquez investigates each cemetery's history and architecture, its saints and ghosts, its caretakers and visitors, and, of course, its dead. Weaving personal stories with reportage, interviews, myth, hauntology, and more, \u003ci\u003eSomebody Is Walking on Your Grave\u003c\/i\u003e is memoir channeled through Enriquez's passion for cemeteries, revealing as much about her own life and unique sensibility as the graveyards and tombstones she tours. Fascinating, spooky, and unlike anything else, Enriquez's first work of nonfiction, translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, is as original and memorable as the stories and novels for which she's become so beloved and admired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariana Enriquez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593733517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593733516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hogarth Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Mariana Enriquez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46747884650751,"sku":"9780593733516","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a902dff-bba1-4bd0-a019-6b2d1d80275c.jpg?v=1743585015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/somebody-is-walking-on-your-mariana-enriquez-9780593733516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
