Examining testimonial production in Southern Cone Latin America (Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay), Haunted Objects analyzes how the changed relationship between the subject and the material world influenced the way survivors narrate the stories of their detentions in the wake of the political violence of the 1970s and 80s. It explores descriptions of objects within testimonial narratives and uses these descriptions to inform an analysis of how the objects that survived the violence--items recovered by archeologists from former detention centers, the personal belongings of disappeared peoples, the prison craftwork created by political prisoners during their detention, and the bodies of the second generation children of the disappeared, all join together in memory projects in the post-dictatorship to offer "spectral testimony" about the past.

The presence from the bedroom was with her again-somehow controlling her. Sadie knew that the actions weren't her own, and yet even as she tried to fight them, she wasn't strong enough to stop them. Instead of seeing the shining chrome refrigerator in front of her, she saw a red cooler surrounded by darkness. Ripping the lid off of the cooler she saw herself-him-reach inside. Sadie Mozart never saw it coming. She was young, independent, and happy. She had everything she could ask for: a great job, friends, and an outlet for her lifelong passion, art. She kept busy, living in the present, always managing to avoid facing a painful, secretive past...until now. On the eve of what would be Sadie Mozart's debut into the art world as the one-to-watch, she wakes to a series of disturbing phones calls, which lead to her discovering her best friend savagely mutilated-only moments after the killer has left the building. The killer's bizarre calling card is meant only for Sadie to understand, spinning Sadie's life off its axis. A singularly vicious stranger has come to town. And with him the return of terrifying visions that haunted her childhood, and left all-too-real marks on her body. He will stop at nothing to destroy her and everything she holds dear. In 72 Hours, Sadie Mozart must open a long-closed and painful door to her past, and delve not only into her family's but the town's darkest secrets to stop the killings before he stops her and anyone else she loves.
