Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk
4.0
If like me you’ve been feeling like the vampire sub genre has become samey and are searching for that something different, then pick up Thirst. The author will prove to you that there is still a lot of ground to cover!
Horror fiction is my drug. It gives me something. It takes me out of my normal, everyday life. For during the time I’m reading, I don’t need to think about my worries, it takes my head into a relaxing place- even if that’s reading about serial killers. Hey, don’t mock it until you’ve tried it!
Thirst is built around grief and the impact it has on two women at two different points in their lives. We know what it’s like. How I react now when I’m almost forty is completely different to how I’d have reacted in my twenties. In the nineteenth century the reader is introduced to female vampire who travels to Buenos Aires to navigates the rising difficulties that being immortal has brought. The conditions she has to embrace with rising cases of yellow fever has her in a tight fog. The author brilliantly captivates the harsh reality of her situation.
In today’s Buenos Aires Alma grapples with her mother’s declining health. A single mother, she also struggles walking the tightrope of expectation, Their paths cross when Alma inherits the key to the vampire’s eternal resting place.
Thirst is flawless and taut and so beautifully written. I’m a seasoned horror reader and I was left clutching my pearls and gasping out loud, captivated at the delicate innotations of the authors prose. It has the power to take you by surprise and you just have to let it!
