THE SPANISH BESTSELLER

"Full of tenderness and delirium, moving between suburban realism and fairy tale." —Mariana Enríquez

"An eldritch Pedro Almodovar nightmare, charting those liminal terrors found beyond the boundaries of the human body, where flesh itself is not safe." —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside and Ghost Eaters

An alternative Nightbitch set in Barcelona for fans of Fever Dream, following three mothers who are linked by the tentacles that live inside of them.


Alba has always clung to her mother Carmen: to run errands, or simply validate every anxiety she’s had. Yet, nothing can silence the fears Alba refuses to confront. They simmer, then burst, but never quite erupt, and each time Carmen is by her side. Meanwhile, Alba’s sister Diana struggles herself, balancing the demands of motherhood and work, but cannot remember the last time Carmen tended to her.

Two days before Christmas, Alba drags Carmen to the mall. There, she runs into "the widows." The pair approach Alba, put an evil eye on her. Her nose starts to bleed, which is how Alba knows. Then, on Christmas Eve, Alba disappears. And Diana and Carmen collapse from the pain in their bellies, where a deep gash splits their purging stomachs. As the tensions the three women have long held in explode, they're finally forced to confront the terror that connects them.

Haunting, cinematic, and strikingly visceral, Don't Leave Her Alone is an incisive exploration of motherhood through a surreal "awakening" that interrogates women's struggle for autonomy and identity, and ultimately forces the question: what does it take to finally be able to break free?

批評家のレビュー

"Being mothers and being daughters can feel like body horror, and that is what Desiree de Fez’s brilliant debut novel does: it turns bonds of intense love into torn bodies, glitter, and anxiety. Don’t Leave Her Alone is full of tenderness and delirium, moving between suburban realism and fairy tale." —Mariana Enriquez, International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed

"Compelling to the point of hypnotic, a tender and visceral study of mothers, daughters and sisters that recalls the best of King, Enriquez and Almodóvar, but which is ultimately uniquely its own. A gem." —Virginia Feito, author of Victorian Psycho

"Don't Leave Her Alone is an eldritch Pedro Almodovar nightmare, charting those liminal terrors found beyond the boundaries of the human body, where flesh itself is not safe." —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside and Ghost Eaters

"To be a mother is to know the world Desirée de Fez has imagined—visceral and nightmare-fueled yet sparkling with the fantastical. Don’t Leave Her Alone is a masterclass in body horror, explored through the lens of family, legacy and motherhood. This one reads like a hypnotic fever dream! Prepare to be spellbound from the first page." —Karma Brown, #1 international bestseller of Recipe for a Perfect Wife and Mother is Watching

"An eerily relatable and outright eerie spin on dysfunctional families, the quiet horror of being alone, and the inescapable nature of blood ties. In Lizzie Davis’s keen and clear-eyed translation, Desirée de Fez’s prose pulses with dread, dark humor, and a relentless sense of unease." —Paige Morris, New York Times bestselling translator of Nobel Prize winner Han Kang’s We Do Not Part

"Don't Leave Her Alone captures that special kind of neuroticism intrinsic to each family. The obligation of mothers to their daughters, of sisters to each other, erupts with enough blood and viscera to make Clive Barker proud. Desirée de Fez delivers a Christmas miracle in the darkest way possible." —Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us

"Desirée de Fez descends into the dark core of family and memory to examine the fears that shape our identity. With brave, lucid writing—born of a compulsive need to transform anguish into understanding—she reveals horror, far from being purely destructive, as an extreme and radiant form of love for others and for ourselves. Not only is it an extraordinary novel; I can’t remember having read anything quite like it." —J.A. Bayona, award-winning film director of The Society of the Snow and A Monster Calls
