Certain Dark Things

From Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding neo-noir that reimagines vampire lore.

Welcome to Mexico City—last refuge of the living, and the undead. In this sprawling metropolis where vampires are outlawed but far from extinct, Domingo, a teenage trash collector with nothing but curiosity to his name, scrapes by on the margins. Then he meets Atl, a beautiful, winged vampire descended from ancient Aztec bloodlines—fierce, hunted, and far too dangerous for him to love.

Atl is fleeing a rival narco-vampire clan that’s left a trail of bodies in her wake, and the city’s predators—human and otherwise—are closing in. She never meant to drag Domingo into her flight for survival, yet the boy’s reckless hope begins to pierce the armor she’s worn for centuries.

As cops, cartels, and creatures of the night converge, Certain Dark Things becomes a neon-lit fever dream of blood, loyalty, and impossible tenderness. In a world built on hunger—whether for power, escape, or love—Mexico City may be the most dangerous monster of all.
