The Dangers of Smoking in Bed Signed First Edition Reference

Los peligros de fumar en la cama (originally published in Argentina in 2009, revised 2017; English: Hogarth, 2021, translated by Megan McDowell) collects twelve stories of supernatural unease rooted in Argentine urban life — squatters haunted by building ghosts, obsessive fans of deceased rock stars, teenagers exploring abandoned houses that refuse to let them leave. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize.

Signed Copy Market Values

  • Signed English first (Hogarth, 2021): $30–$75
  • Unsigned English first: $8–$15

A strong companion to Things We Lost in the Fire, with growing collector interest after the Booker shortlisting.
