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.

Finally!
Size: X-Large, Color: All Black D (5-pack)
Finally, comfortable underwear that don’t end up giving me a wedgie. I have a round booty and most cuts of underwear end up shifting as I walk and sit. The hem of the underwear comes right under my cheeks and the lightweight material ensures there’s no panty line and no shifting to where I don’t want them! I’m definitely purchasing more.

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly. The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

Glad I switched
Super comfortable and have been very pleased with the quality and fit. It doesn’t feel like it’s made from one ply toilet paper which is great and doesn’t ride up. And for the price, I’ll be buying another set
