{"product_id":"thirst-a-novel","title":"Thirst: A Novel","description":"“Vampires are making a comeback, and Yuszczuk is spearheading their revival with this bloody novel.”\n—The New York Times Book Review\n\nIt 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.\n\nIn 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.\n\nWith 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.\n\n“Channeling Carmen Maria Machado and Anne Rice, Yuszczuk reimagines the vampire novel, with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist.”\n—The Millions\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593472063\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593472063.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yuszczuk, Marina|Cleary, Heather\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
