Unveiling Haunting Secrets: Mariana Enriquez’s Graveyard Chronicles That Will Chill Your Soul
The why that Enriquez lays out becomes a concise yet detailed examination of the place’s history, encompassing both spiritual beliefs and political history. There are many victims of plagues, indigenous people murdered by colonists, poor people dumped in mass graves, and those dead from wars. The common graves, the shared graves, often also tell stories that are not well known or forgotten.
Near Faraday there is a common grave. How many are there in all of Highgate? Probably a lot, like in all the world’s cemeteries. The one near Faraday is an all-girls grave. Ten of them are buried there, all under the age of twenty. Most of them are teenage prostitutes, girls who’d been lured from the country with promises of jobs as cooks or maids and, once in the city, were brought to filthy brothels instead.
