Valerie Gonzalez Street crafts a compelling narrative that eschews traditional tropes for psychological unease, focusing on the emotional weight of supernatural intrusion. By setting the story against the heat and isolation of Texas, she amplifies the tension surrounding Marta’s family as their domestic stability crumbles. The text excels in portraying the fragility of safety and testing familial bonds without offering comfort or simple answers.
