Novela B
A couple lose their son in an unexplained accident, two travellers find themselves implicated in a cannibal ritual, bloodthirsty cultists on motorcycles, UFO hunters, Beatnik wolf-men, a youngster with messianic delusions obsessed with blood, a disturbing serial killer... All these stories have a vertiginous rhythm and converge in a terrifying trauma, absurd and memorable in equal parts. Inspired by the B-movie tradition, Mónica Bustos constructs an intense narrative full of cruel intrigues and parodic scenarios. The narrative releases an acid humour and the atmosphere so bizarre it is captivating. On the pages of this book, the reader will find an ensemble novel, unusual to say the least, a tiny jewel that pays homage to the "pulp" tradition, written in fragments that only gain their full meaning when united.
