Summary
'Like its namesake, Silver Nitrate catches fire and doesn't stop burning until the end' - The Washington Post
'Perfection. No one punctures the skin of reality to reveal the lurking, sinister magic beneath better than Silvia Moreno-Garcia' - Kiersten White, author of Hide
'Wows you with its eerie atmosphere and deft blend of historical fiction, horror and black magic' - The New York Times Book Review
A breathtaking blend of Mexican horror movies and dark occultism from the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.
Montserrat has always been overlooked. She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in '90s Mexico City.
Then her best friend Tristán introduces her to his new neighbour - cult horror director Abel Urueta, who promises that he can change all of their lives, if only they'll help him finish what he claims is a cursed film by a Nazi occultist.
Disbelieving, but with nothing to lose, Montserrat and Tristán agree to help. However, as they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and its obscure creator, the pair might find out that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies . . .

Flawed but worth the read
3.5/5
This book started as a 5 star read but some choices, and one scene in particular really deflated the love I had for it. There was a lot to love in this book, old mexican cinema, Nazi Cults and some great character work, but the third act shifts in a way I really did not enjoy, it nearly climbs back to greatness but falters right at the end.

Interesting concept but uneven
There’s something about the author’s way of writing that comes across as a little too wordy and vague to me, but her stories and ideas are always fascinating

Rich, Spooky and glorious!
A mysteries lost film! Nazis! Spooks! Cultists! It’s all here. Brought richly to life by the narrator. Like taking a warm bath and luxuriating in the story. Just don’t let it run cold!
5 stars. Would totally recommend!

Very mediocre
I really wanted to like this, but it fell flat. The storyline could have been so gripping, but it wasn’t. At all. Not sure why the guy had to be a Nazi, and this wasn’t explored at all. It just seemed to be to show how much of a bag guy he was. I’m sure there are other ways to do this. Disappointing overall.
