From Publishers Weekly (Starred Review):

“Bestseller Moreno-Garcia (The Daughter of Doctor Moreau) takes readers behind the scenes of 1993 Mexico City’s horror movie industry in this powerful and chilling thrill ride. Combining real history with unsettling magic, Moreno-Garcia effortlessly ties explorations of misogyny, addiction, antisemitism, and racism into a plot that never falters from its breakneck pace. The narrative shifts effortlessly between fantasy, horror, and romance, helmed by a well-shaded cast. The complex female characters are particular standouts.”

“The intricate plot is supported by a fully realized setting and seamlessly integrated information about the detailed work of sound editing.”

From Kirkus:

“An engaging, inventive story of moviemaking and the occult for film geeks and genre buffs.”

From Library Journal:

“A love letter to Mexico City’s film industry and an excellent entry into the popular horror subgenre of occult films.”
