Cosita

Following the death of her parents, Cosita—a woman who compulsively collects secondhand objects—begins to fear for the stability of her world when she realizes she has acquired an enemy: a magician who starts buying up the very items she desires most. The novel functions as both a mystery to be solved and a character study, with a tone and sensibility akin to Susanna Clarke’s *Piranesi* and Lynchian vibes running through the plot from start to finish.
