A ghost story revolving around a fictionalized version of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who you likely know of if you don’t know the names.

Written in the lyrical and absorbing language typical of Machado:

I told him the truth, or the truth as best as I understood it: I was born under an erratic star at an unknown hour and was fixed in neither this world nor the next.

This Hollywood Reporter article (via Metafilter) about the Warrens is a great read as well.
