Unveiling Haunting Secrets: Mariana Enriquez’s Graveyard Chronicles That Will Chill Your Soul
Reviewed by Emily Webber
It’s no surprise that Mariana Enriquez, an Argentinian writer well-known for gothic and horror fiction, makes her nonfiction debut with a book about cemeteries. In Somebody is Walking on Your Grave: My Cemetery Journeys (Hogarth; September 2025), Enriquez takes the reader on a wild and expansive tour across four continents featuring 21 cemeteries. However, this book is not simply a detailing of a macabre goth hobby. It is impressive in scope, at turns a blend of memoir, along with a meditation on how different cultures lay to rest and remember the dead, how a history of a place and people can be told through their cemeteries, and why people become fascinated with the dead.
