Abstract
Los sinsabores del verdadero policía (2011), Chicas Muertas (2014), and Racimo (2014),show the ravages of globalization in border towns or provinces of Mexico, Argentina, and Chile. Roberto Bolaño, Selva Almada, and Diego Zeñiga relect the efects of industrialization in areas damaged by economic exploitation and violence, creating thus regions traversed by horror. Indeed, this horror is symbolized by the bodies of mutilated women that appear from the northern border of Mexico to the center of Argentine territory. To show this, a comparative analysis based on various theoretical resources allow to establish that these books constitute a geography of horror.
