Now I see why – “Silver Nitrate” is a very engaging novel, and I couldn’t put it down. Horror is not my literary genre, but I was curious about Silvia Moreno-Garcia, whose books take the publishing world by storm. Tristán starts seeing his dead girlfriend. Montserrat discovers she has magic powers, uncovered when she starts reading a book by a deceased German occultist. This is the beginning of their involvement in another kind of magic, not an enchanting and beautiful kind but an absolute horror. He can’t wait to introduce himself and Montserrat to the famous Abel Urueta, whose Mexican horror movies became legendary. Then Tristán learns that the old movie director lives in his building. They are in their forties, and it became harder for Montserrat to face the mounting obstacles at work and for Tristán to get new auditions. They love watching old horror movies together, and they both work in the movie industry: Montserrat is the only woman in sound editing production, and Tristán works as an actor, thanks to his good looks, which have gradually diminished by now because of his age and a car accident. This phrase carries a special meaning for two childhood friends, Montserrat and Tristán.
