A breathtaking blend of Mexican horror movies and dark occultism
from the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. 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, even though she's been in love
with him since childhood. 'Gripping and unusual' - Guardian Then
Tristán discovers his new neighbour is the cult horror director
Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he has a way to change
their lives - even if his tales of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic
into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer
fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta
swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed. Now the
director wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the
missing scene and lift the curse . . . but Montserrat soon notices
a dark presence following her. As they work together to unravel the
mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their
city, Montserrat and Tristán might just find out that sorcerers
and magic are not only the stuff of movies . . . "Perfection" -
Kiersten White, bestselling author of Hide
