An enchanting, highly personal tour of some of the most iconic cemeteries of the world—part travelogue, part memoir, part “excursions through death,” by the author of Our Share of Night and “queen of horror” (Los Angeles Times)

“Not a travelogue so much as a grave-a-logue, Somebody is Walking on Your Grave is an exuberant, witty wander among the dead. You could not have a better friend to take you by the hand and lead you for a long traipse among tilting tombstones, dank crypts, and chilling history.”—Joe Hill

“Enriquez knows cemeteries are the repositories of life’s pain and beauty. I felt more alive as I read.”—Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

“A perfect book for almost anyone.”—The Washington Post

“An immersive testament to [Enriquez’s] genius.”—Los Angeles Times

“An eccentric and enlightening peek into how memorialization happens across the world.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Fascinating . . . Enriquez hides a celebration of life in a book about death.”—Booklist, starred review

Cemeteries have great stories and sometimes I steal some for my books.

Mariana Enriquez—called by The New York Times a “sorceress of horror”—has been fascinated by the haunting beauty of cemeteries since she was a teenager. She has visited them frequently, a goth flaneur taking notes on her aesthetic obsession as she walks among the headstones, “where dying seems much more interesting than being alive.”

But when the body of a friend’s mother who was disappeared during Argentina’s military dictatorship was found in a common grave, Enriquez began to examine more deeply the complex meanings of cemeteries and where our bodies come to rest.

In this rich book of essays—“excursions through death,” she calls them—Enriquez travels through North and South America, Europe and Australia, visiting Paris’s catacombs, Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery, New Orleans’s aboveground mausoleums, Buenos Aires’s opulent Recoleta, and more. 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, myths, hauntology, and more, Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Horrors prowl the pages of the Argentine author’s fiction, which tends to be woven from the supernatural and the barbed threads of her own country’s recent history. So perhaps it’s no surprise that cemeteries hold a special personal fascination for the writer. The surprise, rather, may be that this collection of essays about her visits to graveyards all over the world is less about death than life, and the varieties—and the emotional imperative—of somehow marking its passing.”—NPR

Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave finds the great Argentine horror writer (Our Share of Night) mixing memoir and legend for a global survey of cemeteries.”—Chicago Tribune

“In her reflective, pitch-perfect collection of linked essays, Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave, the great Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez guides us through 21 of the world’s distinctive cemeteries. . . . each chapter’s a banger, rendered in a luminous translation by Megan McDowell. . . . Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave is an immersive testament to her genius.”—Los Angeles Times

I have very few authors that I subscribe to all over the Internet to make sure I know they have a new book coming out. Mariana Enriquez is one of them. Enjoy this incredible jaunt into experiences at cemeteries all over the world. As always, Mariana is so elegant and well spoken as to be able to talk about difficult topics, but also maintain humanity and dignity. Go read it you’ll love it!

Marina Enriquez does it again!

I did finish this book, but at times it was touch and go. I did not care for the narrator. I found her to be vaguely unpleasant, sounding like a malicious gossip. The book itself is a kind of cemetery tourism with some biographical interludes.
