All houses keep the history of their inhabitants. This house was built by a pimp and turned into a trap for his wife, as well as for all the women in this family. Now a grandmother and granddaughter live in it, as well as ghosts and evil spirits who strive to drag the inhabitants into dark nothingness. During the day, the villagers give the house and its inhabitants a wide berth, but under the cover of darkness they come asking for plots and revenge. When a child from a privileged family disappears, all the skeletons of this village begin to emerge. Described by Mariana Enriquez as “a house of women and shadows, built of poetry and revenge,” this novel will explore class struggle and the abilities of desperate women. “The Woodworm” has already become an absolute hit in Spain, 16 editions have been published, Laila Martinez is called a new unique phenomenon in modern Spanish literature. “It’s amazing how in this small novel Laila Martinez managed to put the plots of folk legends and historical realities (the Patriotic War, the Franco regime, post-war society) , weaving it all with family legends and bringing it to life in a story about several generations of women who regularly faced violence, but one day decided to take revenge.” – Lyudmila Ivanova, editor
