About this listen
'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 . . .

Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing is unforgettable
Elegant, rich in description and filled with characters that come vividly to life
Simultaneously heartbreaking and heart-mending, a wondrous and magical tale
A coming-of-age fairy tale of haunting shadows commingled with vibrant life
A beautiful work that will draw you in and keep you transfixed and reading far too late
Saturated with references and genuine love for genre cinema, with supernatural and cinematic magic seen as often interchangeable
In between references every horror film fan will appreciate, Moreno-Garcia blends occultism with romance with rich characters and a pitch-perfect emotionally fraught atmosphere
Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Her genres are ever changing, her ability to take on a wild story each time is incredible. You never know what she's going to do, but you know it will be a page-turner
Like its namesake, Silver Nitrate catches fire and doesn't stop burning until the end
An engaging, inventive story of moviemaking and the occult
Silvia Moreno-Garcia once again writes herself to the summit of a new genre . . . a haunting story with evocative atmosphere and Moreno-Garcia's usual attention to detail and strong characters
