Terror y Suspenso
Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the ’90s about a women’s book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a real monster.
Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.
This predictable pattern is upended when Patricia meets James Harris, a handsome stranger who moves into the neighborhood to take care of his elderly aunt and ends up joining the book club. James is sensitive and well-read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in twenty years. But there’s something off about him. He doesn’t have a bank account, he doesn’t like going out during the day, and Patricia’s mother-in-law insists that she knew him when she was a girl—an impossibility.
When local children go missing, Patricia and the book club members start to suspect James is more of a Bundy than a Beatnik—but no one outside of the book club believes them. Have they read too many true crime books, or have they invited a real monster into their homes?

This has been the best vampire representation I've ever seen, though a little different. The characters' husbands are the most annoying men ever, and only complicated everything for the wives. If you're looking for the perfect mix between horror and comedy, definitely check this out. You won't regret it.

Excelente libro! Me atrapo con sus pequeñas escenas cómicas que apaciguan la trama pero también me encantaron las escenas crudas y gore que tiene. Excelente para las personas que buscan una buena lectura de terror!

It wasn't what I was expecting, but I really didn't know what was that; the point of view of the author, the characters, the situations... This book is a totally different way to read about vampires, and I really like it

I really enjoyed the first half of the book but didn’t like how problematic the characters were in the second half. Specifically how they kept doubting the main character. Then men… the men in this story were so infuriating

Scary and funny at the same time. The kind of horror I can stand.
