Sounds pretty intriguing already! Here’s the description. Certain Dark Things is dark, inimitable, and so very, very cool. Silvia Moreno-Garcia reinvents it for the 21st century in this high-concept, explosive tale of narco-vampires in Mexico City, and just when you thought it was safe to step out of the coffin.
Not since Anne Rice’s seminal Interview with the Vampire has the vampire story been so radically reimagined.
Paul Tremblay ( A Head Full of Ghosts) says it “is steeped in the history of Mexico City and vampire lore and yet manages to deftly re-invent the bloodsucker… Certain Dark Things packs a wallop.” And Lavie Tidhar says:
Her second novel, Certain Dark Things, is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the fall. Earlier this year she was also nominated for a World Fantasy Award for her Lovecraftian anthology She Walks in Shadows. Her debut novel, Signal to Noise, was a finalist for the British Fantasy, Locus, Aurora and Solaris awards, and made seven year’s best lists, including B&N’s Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, Buzzfeed, i09, and Tor.com. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a Mexican born Canadian fantasy writer.
