In this chilling second volume of miniature novels, silence speaks louder than words, and every gesture hides a wound. Miniature Novels II unearths the quiet horrors that fester beneath routine, memory, and desire - where love is a ritual, pain a habit, and endings no longer wait until the final page.
Each story unfolds like a whisper not meant to be heard, confessions stained with guilt, tenderness twisted by time, and truths too fragile to survive daylight. Through uncanny encounters and emotional ruins, Montse traces the bruised outlines of lives barely held together by hope, lust, or resignation.
With her signature lyrical detachment and razor-sharp insight, Montse continues her exploration of emotional decay and existential dread through twenty-six stories. In Miniature Novels II, she strips away the illusion of permanence and asks: What if the worst has already happened - and we're still here?
