Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood-drinkers, is smart and beautiful - and very dangerous. Domingo is mesmerised. Atl needs to escape the city quickly, to get far away from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Her plan doesn't include Domingo, but little by little, she finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in. Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City.

Número de Páginas: 399

Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. 'Moreno-Garcia is a deft enchantress - this is a ghost story in high Gothic style' - M.L. Rio, author of If We Were Villains 'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of The Daughter of Doctor Moreau and Mexican Gothic comes a fabulous meld of Mexican horror movies and Nazi occultism: a dark thriller about the curse that haunts a legendary lost film—and awakens one woman’s hidden powers. “No one punctures the skin of reality to reveal the lurking, sinister magic beneath better than Silvia Moreno-Garcia.”—Kiersten White, author of Hide LOCUS AWARD FINALIST • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Tordotcom, Polygon, CrimeReads, BookPage, Book Riot 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. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood. Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives—even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is...

Palabras para desnudar un espejo

Autor: Silvia Moreno Domínguez

Número de Páginas: 122

Hay demasiadas mujeres a las que no les gusta su cuerpo. Se sienten poco atractivas, feas o gordas y eso daña su autoestima. En algunas personas este malestar es tan intenso que causa sufrimiento psicológico y da lugar al menosprecio del propio cuerpo: a esto le llamamos insatisfacción corporal. Lejos de ser una preocupación superficial o frívola, el rechazo del cuerpo es un problema complejo y con frecuencia el origen de otros trastornos psicológicos más graves. Las palabras para desnudar un espejo que contiene este libro pretenden ser una explicación razonable y razonada de por qué una persona, sea como sea, puede llegar a odiar su aspecto físico. Solo si conocemos las causas del miedo al espejo, se puede empezar a construir una imagen corporal distinta y liberarse de la tiranía del propio cuerpo. De forma transversal, el libro contiene una invitación a abandonar los ideales estéticos tradicionales y propone un nuevo concepto de «belleza»: amplio, realista y natural.

Una novela terroríficamente brillante. Tras recibir una extraña carta de su prima recién casada, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa en el campo en México, sin saber qué encontrará allí. Noemí no parece tener dotes de salvadora: es glamurosa, más acostumbrada a asistir a cócteles que a las tareas de detective. Pero también es fuerte, inteligente y no tiene miedo: ni del nuevo marido de su prima, un inglés amenazante y seductor; ni de su padre, el antiguo patriarca que parece fascinado por Noemí; ni de la casa, que empieza a invadir los sueños de Noemí con visiones de sangre y fatalidad. El único amigo que Noemí encontrará es el hijo menor de la familia, quien también da la impresión de estar tapando secretos oscuros. Porque hay muchos secretos escondidos en las pareces de High Place, como descubrirá Noemí cuando empiece a desenterrar historias de violencia y locura. Cautivada por este mundo aterrador a la par que seductor, a Noemí le resultará difícil salvar a su prima... O incluso escapar de esa enigmática casa. Premio Goodreads a Mejor Novela de Terror 2020.

Touching Bellies, Touching Lives

Autor: Judy Gabriel

Número de Páginas: 215

When I got there, I found the girl lying on the floor, naked and screaming, with the baby’s foot sticking out. Judy Gabriel gives humble, authentic voice to the personal experiences and practices of scores of traditional midwives in rural Mexico. The midwives talk about their childhoods, marriages, losses, rituals, and techniques. The rich narratives describe childbirth before modern medicine redefined it. Intended to engage, enrich, and inspire, Gabriel’s work tells of the women who received generations of babies into their hands when knowledge about childbirth came from women’s bodies, from instinct, from dreams, and from other women. The stories unfold in the context of high-intervention obstetrics and soaring Cesarean rates, a world that often degrades women and violates the sanctity of birth. An ideal supplemental text for courses in cultures of Mesoamerica; the anthropology of reproduction, midwifery, and birth; medical or biological anthropology; and midwifery practice in historical and cross-cultural context.

Televisiones autonómicas

Autor: Juan Carlosmiguel , Miguel Ángel Casado

Número de Páginas: 382

A pesar de constituir una de las realidades televisivas más complejas de Europa, pocos trabajos han tomado la realidad de las televisiones autonómicas en su totalidad y la mayoría se han centrado en el estudio de casos concretos. Este libro pretende contribuir a colmar ese vacío a partir de un enfoque pluridisciplinar sobre la totalidad de las televisiones autonómicas. Como el resto del sistema audiovisual, los medios autonómicos públicos se encuentran en el medio de importantes cambios de diferente índole: reglamentarios (leyes), tecnológicos (TDT, Internet, redes sociales), gobernanza (transparencia, independencia, externalización, FORTA) que son analizados en diferentes capítulos del libro. Por su naturaleza, han de afrontar estos retos como televisiones públicas de proximidad, comprometidas con los contenidos y la industria local y, sometidas a una presión cada vez mayor a nivel económico. Sin olvidar la gestión, a veces ineficaz, otras veces directamente irresponsable, que ha puesto a varias de estas televisiones en situaciones límite.

New Directions in Supernatural Horror Literature

Autor: Sean Moreland

Número de Páginas: 289

This collection of essays examines the legacy of H.P. Lovecraft’s most important critical work, Supernatural Horror in Literature. Each chapter illuminates a crucial aspect of Lovecraft’s criticism, from its aesthetic, philosophical and literary sources, to its psychobiological underpinnings, to its pervasive influence on the conception and course of horror and weird literature through the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These essays investigate the meaning of cosmic horror before and after Lovecraft, explore his critical relevance to contemporary social science, feminist and queer readings of his work, and ultimately reveal Lovecraft’s importance for contemporary speculative philosophy, film and literature.
