About this listen
Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is just trying to survive its heavily policed streets when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life. Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood-drinkers, is smart and beautiful - and very dangerous. Domingo is mesmerised.
Atl needs to escape the city quickly, to get far away from the rival narco-vampire clan relentlessly pursuing her. Her plan doesn't include Domingo, but little by little, she finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his undeniable charm. As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in.
Vampires, humans, cops, and criminals collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Atl and Domingo stand little chance at all of making it out alive before the city devours them all - but they are determined to try . . .

Critic Reviews
Silvia Moreno-Garcia's gritty novel is steeped in the history of Mexico City and vampire lore and yet manages to deftly re-invent the bloodsucker . . . Certain Dark Things packs a wallop
With its vibrant prose and stellar world-building, Certain Dark Things is one of the best books I've read in years
Silvia Moreno-Garcia pulls zero punches, bares all the fangs, and goes for every throat in the room with Certain Dark Things
A delicious, elegant, gritty vampire noir. Moreno-Garcia has created a world that pulses with life and terror and honesty
A fresh, stunning interpretation of vampire lore . . . Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing is unforgettable
Silvia Moreno-Garcia carves out the heart of Mexico City, and then eats it, in this riveting noir-punk reinvention of vampire lore. Certain Dark Things is exquisitely vicious and brutally beautiful
Certain Dark Things is dark, inimitable, and so very, very cool. Unmissable
Certain Dark Things is arguably the vampire novel for the 21st century
With dark and delicious elegance, Moreno-Garcia delivers a satisfyingly bloody vampire story with a tantalising twist
Moreno-Garcia's characters are vivid and compelling, as is her prose. As a novel, it's fantastic: honest, wrenching, compassionate, and brutal
She has invented a complex world in which humans run around half in terror or in subjection, and half in love with countless subspecies of modern-day vampire...Will you be gripped to the last page? Oh, I expect so
Having read several Moreno-Garcia books in recent years you can be guaranteed of two things: great character creation and not knowing what the book is going to be. This book has a crime noir feel with some urban fantasy thrown in.
Is there anything Silvia Moreno-Garcia can't do? Long before she wrote Mexican Gothic and Velvet Was the Night, Moreno-Garcia penned this gritty novel about vampiric drug cartels
A sleek and brutal noir thriller . . . balanced on a knife-edge between hope and horror
Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a chameleon of an author . . . her writing is truly one of a kind
If you haven't read any of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's work yet then I don't quite know what you're doing with your life, she's a fantastically fresh voice in the world of speculative fiction and Certain Dark Things is proof of her creativity
but I really a want story which more evolved around the vampire world.
a really nice,cool and mature story
