Literary genre and topics

She continued publishing crime, horror, gothic and historical fiction novels aswell as essays.[2]
Her work has been translated into French, Italian, German, Catalan, English, Greek, Hungarian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Croatian, Portuguese, Basque, Czech, Russian and Esperanto.[3][4] Memory, love and death are recurring themes in her work, where she also vindicates the role of mature women.[5]
