Filth Eaters

by Ito Romo

Tracing a thousand-year lineage of mestizo vampires called Filth Eaters, Romo's inventive debut follows Radamés from 1849 Granada through centuries of shadow-dwelling survival. A literary horror that reimagines vampire mythology through the lens of colonization and cultural hybridity. High-strung prose matches the feverish intensity of its bloodline chronicle.
