Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk

---

 Vampires at their decadent, physical, blood-soaked, best…and yes, oh so gay. Intertwining two women’s stories, Thirst captures the tragic loneliness and yearning of the vampiric figure, and of course the requisite violence, thirst, and sensuality of them as well. Plus, Yuszczuk examines the role of women’s agency in historical settings and in contemporary Buenos Aires, with a deft hand covering the limits of motherhood, desire, and grief. If you love vampires in a juxtaposed grim, yet sumptuous historical setting, Thirst is perfect for you.
