тАЬVampires are making a comeback, and Yuszczuk is spearheading their revival with this bloody novel.тАЭ
тАФThe New York Times Book Review
┬а
It is the nineteenth century, the twilight of EuropeтАЩs 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┬аand her own relationship to motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites inside the two womenтАФand they cross a threshold from which thereтАЩs no turning back.
With echoes of Mary ShelleyтАЩs 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.

тАЬChanneling┬аCarmen Maria Machado┬аand┬аAnne Rice, Yuszczuk reimagines the vampire novel, with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist.тАЭ
