Ellen recommends... I absolutely loved this occult thriller set in 1990s Mexico City. When undervalued sound editor Monserrat and her actor friend Tristán agree to help their neighbour/washed-up film director finish a 'cursed' film, they get more than they bargain for... I loved the characters, relatable even with their flaws. The horror-cinema themes and setting made this such a fun read for me.
Montserrat has always been overlooked.
She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in '90s Mexico City. Then her best friend Tristán introduces her to his new neighbour - cult horror director Abel Urueta, who promises that he can change all of their lives, if only they'll help him finish what he claims is a cursed film by a Nazi occultist. Disbelieving, but with nothing to lose, Montserrat and Tristán agree to help.
However, as they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and its obscure creator, the pair might find out that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies...
A breathtaking blend of Mexican horror movies and dark occultism from the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.
