( 4 ratings ) Unavailable in your country About this ebook God bless you, England, on this glorious Year of Our Lord, 1145. As Domingo learns what vampires are really like – not necessarily how the comics portray them – so Atl gets a glimpse of the human way of life. Alone (apart from her dog, Cualli), afraid and hunted by both a rival clan and a gang of vampire-hating criminals, Atl is desperate to find a way out of the city, and begrudgingly accepts Domingo’s help, despite what she knows it will mean. When he crosses paths with Atl, the last remaining vampire of her family, he finds himself drawn to her, mesmerised by her mystery and beauty. Young, street-smart but a little naive, Domingo makes his living picking garbage and daydreaming about the vampires he reads about in the comics. First published in 2016 before being re-released in 2021 by Jo Fletcher Books (in the UK – Tor Nightfire in the US), Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s vampire-noir novel Certain Dark Things confidently blends style with substance to deliver a darkly compelling tale of undead cartels, ancient alliances and unlikely friendship on the streets of Mexico City. ![]()
