Blood Crime

A multi-genre gothic novel of the horrific early days of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona, perfect for fans ofÂ Roberto BolaÃ±o andÂ Mario Vargas Llosa.

"Startling... â€œBlood Crimeâ€ (beautifully translated from the Catalan by Maruxa RelaÃ±o and Martha Tennent) has a sort of concentrated power thatâ€™s rare in horror novels. Itâ€™s akin to poetry."Â
â€”The New York Times Book Review

It is 1936, and Barcelona burns as the Spanish Civil War takes over. The city is a bloodbath. Yet in all this death, the murders of a Marist monk and a young boy, drained of their blood, are strange enough to catch a police inspectorâ€™s attention. His quest for justice is complicated by the politics, dangers, and espionage of daily life in a war zone. The Marist brothers of the murdered monk are being persecuted; meanwhile, a convent of Capuchin nuns hides in plain sight, trading favors with the military police to stay alive. In their midst is a thirteen-year-old novice who stumbles into the clutches of the murderer. Can she escape in this city of no happy endings?

Narrated by a vampire who thrives in the havoc of the war, this stunning novel, inspired by the true story of a massacre in the early days of the Spanish Civil War, is a gothic reflection on the nature of monsters, in all their human forms.
