N�ufragos, origami, posesi�n y ciencia: estos cuentos encarnan el punto de encuentro entre los horrores contempor�neos y los terrores antiguos. Seis relatos de una belleza oscura que laten con tem�ticas perturbadoras: la legitimidad de la venganza, el incesto como medio de supervivencia, brujer�a ind�gena versus tradici�n japonesa, el cuerpo como la v�ctima fatal que habitamos. Los cuentos de Rivero perforan al lector como una herida, ofreciendo tambi�n posibilidades de amor, justicia y esperanza. Narrados con un lirismo fr�gil y feroz, los cuentos de Tierra fresca de su tumba punzan los abismos del alma humana, y a la vez reforman los l�mites del g�tico para incorporar ritos precolombinos, leyendas, ciencia ficci�n y erotismo. Shipwrecks, dive bars, possession, and science-this is where contemporary horrors and ancient terrors meet. In Fresh Dirt from the Grave , a hillside is "an emerald saddle teeming with evil and beauty." It is this collision of harshness and tenderness that animates Giovanna Rivero's short stories, where no degree of darkness (buried bodies, lost children, wild paroxysms of violence) can take away from the gentleness she shows all violated creatures. A mad aunt haunts her family, two Bolivian children are left on the outskirts of a Metis reservation outside Winnipeg, a widow teaches origami in a women's prison and murders, housefires, and poisonings abound, but so does the persistent bravery of people trying to forge ahead in the face of the world. They are offered cruelty, often, indifference at best, and yet they keep going. Rivero has reworked the boundaries of the gothic to engage with pre-Columbian ritual, folk tales, sci-fi and eroticism, and found in the wound their humanity and the possibility of hope.
