Certain Dark Things

by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Buy on Amazon

Darkly ironic worldbuilding is the real treat of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Certain Dark Things , which posits that vampires are a species that coexists with humans, most recently amid the human underworld. The core of the tale is a parallel of colonialism, in which indigenous vampires of Mexico — once partnered with the Aztecs — are threatened by amoral, disease-carrying European vampires encroaching on their drug trade and feeding territory.
