Enriquez investigates each cemetery’s history and architecture, its saints and ghosts, its caretakers and visitors, and, of course, its dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving personal stories with reportage, interviews, myths, hauntology, and more, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSomebody Is Walking on Your Grave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 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.
