When Hilton was a boy, his grandmother sacrificed her life to save him from drowning. Thirty years later, he begins to suspect that he was never meant to survive that accident, and that dark forces are working to rectify that mistake. When Hilton's wife, the only elected African-American judge in Dade County, Florida, begins to receive racist hate mail from a man she once prosecuted, Hilton becomes obsessed with protecting his family. The demons lurking outside are matched by his internal terrors - macabre nightmares, more intense and disturbing than any he has ever experienced.

Histoire
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.

But on the night of the wedding, somewhere between dancing and dessert, the newlyweds’ daughter, Caroline, disappears—and the only thing left behind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood.

Great listen

Auteur(s): Erin E. Adams
The book, like the gourmet meals it often describes, is rich, luxurious, and well crafted. The author swallows us with metaphor and simile immediately, so vidid as to be disorienting at times. She clearly has a profound vocabulary and complete mistressy of the English language. The story is compelling and layered, unusual as it is. An acquired taste to be sure.
There are times when I grew just a little weary of the in-depth exploration of certain things (kosher butchery, some food-talk), but the writer does an overall incredible job of making us sympathetic, repulsed, turned-on, and nauseated all within minutes.
Not for the weak-stomached. TW for sexual assault, gore, violence.
The book, like a gourmet dish, is not to be binged on.

Our main character spends the whole book describing things in 100 different ways. Get to the point! The whole story is predictable and boring. Way more smut than death/murder/cannibalism.
Hilary Huber’s performance was amazing. She’s always so compelling to listen to, and I love her voice.
Don’t waste your time or credit. Thinking about this book is so infuriating because of how disappointing it is.
A Lack of Story Brought to Life by an AMAZING Narrator
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Dorothy's voice is crude and raw with a rounded sophistication that makes her come off as quite charming, despite being a murderer. The nonlinear storytelling worked well for me because I found Dorothy to be such a fascinating narrator. Her tangents about love, friendship, and food culture were like a firm hand at the base of my skull, grounding me amid the various timeline jumps. I personally don't mind body horror and gore, I found it fit nicely with the commentary on food culture but, if that not your thing, I recommend skipping this one. I had such a good time with this book, I was hanging on to every word until the very last page. This is something I'd absolutely love to see turned into a movie.
TW: murder, cannibalism, rape, animal abuse, gore, body horror, graphic sex, death of a parent, car accident, violence
Bloody brilliant
