As an example, one of my favourite takes is on it is Let the Right One in. I always enjoy non euro centric or takes on vampires that are more outside the American lens. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive? Or will the city devour them all? Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in. Her plan doesn’t include Domingo, but little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. Domingo is mesmerized.Ītl needs to quickly escape the city, far from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, is smart, beautiful, and dangerous. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Because this one, is her take on vampires. I’ve been lucky to review her work a few times on the blog and several times this year but I honestly think my love has grown with this one.
Her range in her writing never ceases to amaze me, same with her never wanting to limit herself to one genre. Please note this review mentions the author Poppy Z.Brite who now lives as Billy Martin and no longer writes under that pen name. ***Content warnings for blood letting, gore, murder, death of a parent and a sibling, torture, mentions of sexual, physical and child abuse.*** There was nothing left but to be swallowed by the enormity of the sea.’ ‘There is a point when a man may swim back to shore, but he was past it.
