Reviews
"It takes courage to write about vampires: they are the greatest of monsters, but also the most trivialized. Marina Yuszczuk manages to bring hers to life in this intimate take on the genre, which also weaves together grief, the history of Buenos Aires, and the voracity of desire." --Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night "The vampire is irresistible because the vampire is history, biology, desire, and death delivered in one stunning bite. Marina Yuszczuk's Thirst , set in a beautiful, blood red Buenos Aires, brings us the vampires we crave like no other writer has before." --Samantha Hunt, author of The Unwritten Book and The Seas " Thirst cleverly pulls you in with its melancholy prose and its setting and its haunting mood and before you know it you've read the whole thing while chewing on your hair. An evocative tale that both recalls and subverts the classic gothic vampire novel. What a mesmerizing read." --Virginia Feito, author of Mrs. March, "Mesmerizingly translated by Cleary, Yuszczuk's prose is meticulous, vibrant, propulsive, and masterfully paced...Thirst is an intense, haunting, and captivating novel that draws readers in from beginning to end." -- Booklist, *starred* "What truly shines are the author's knowledge of vampire lore and her dedication to creating a monster who could easily join the ranks of Dracula and Nosferatu. A blood-soaked tale of sex, love, and ennui that would make Anne Rice proud." -- Kirkus "This isn't your typical meet-cute. When two women--one grieving, the other a vampire, both of them alienated and yearning for more--cross paths in a Buenos Aires cemetery, romance blooms. Channeling Carmen Maria Machado and Anne Rice, Yuszczuk reimagines the vampire novel, with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist." -- The Millions , "Most Anticipated: The Great Winter 2024 Preview" "Thirst marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Gothic literature that readers are sure to enjoy sinking their teeth into." --Polygon, "The 25 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books We're Excited for in 2024" "It takes courage to write about vampires: they are the greatest of monsters, but also the most trivialized.

Winner of the prestigious Sara Gallardo prize for women writers in its original language, the novel rendered into English by Heather Cleary should be your 2024 vampire novel pick." -- Electric Lit , "20 Books in Translation You Need to Read" "This isn't your typical meet-cute.

I also appreciated how the novel retains all of their dark and stylistic delight, without the aching inconclusiveness or censor-friendly endings of its pulpy and gothic paperback predecessors...Heather Cleary's translation maintains a lush, tactile lyricism that swept me into the history...The vibes were, to put it succinctly, immaculate." --Lesbrary "It takes courage to write about vampires: they are the greatest of monsters, but also the most trivialized.

Synopsis
"Vampires are making a comeback, and Yuszczuk is spearheading their revival with this bloody novel." -- The New York Times Book Review It is the nineteenth century, the twilight of Europe's bloody bacchanals, and a vampire must escape. She arrives to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city. She adapts, intermingles with humans, and attempts to be discreet. In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship to motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites inside the two women--and they cross a threshold from which there's no turning back. With echoes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein , Thirst plays with the boundaries of the Gothic genre while exploring the limits of female agency, all-consuming desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures. "Channeling Carmen Maria Machado and Anne Rice, Yuszczuk reimagines the vampire novel, with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist." --The Millions
