Motives Unknown - - Bog - Dead Ink Books - Plusbog.dk

Welcome to the North. Sprawling cities. Lawless rural landscapes. A long and unforgiving history. Here is where the winds blow cold and the nights are long.

A retired detective struggles with his recollections of an old case.

Blood Red - Gabriela Ponce - Bog - Dead Ink Books - Plusbog.dk

Blood Red - Gabriela Ponce - Bog - Dead Ink Books - Plusbog.dk

In a torrent of stream-of-consciousness fragments, the unnamed narrator of Blood Red recounts the aftermath of her failed marriage in explicit, sensual detail. She falls in and out of love, parties with her friends, skates around the city at night, does a lot of drugs, and gives in to her impulses. Her internal monologue is punctuated by bouts of trypophobia, an obsessive cataloguing of holes that empty, fill, widen, and threaten to swallow her entirely. Blood courses through her every encounter from periods, fights, accidents, wounds, sex, streaming to and from her fixation with holes. Blood is a vibrant reminder of her physicality, a manifestation of her interiority, a link to memories and sensations-until its abrupt absence changes everything. Provocative and raw, Blood Red is a fierce portrayal of a woman navigating the grey-or red-zones of her uncertainties and paradoxical urges. A subversive grappling with what it means to wrest power over one''s body, Blood Red revels in the narrator''s autonomy to make choices and face the outcomes, no matter the scale.

Monstrilio - Gerardo Samano Cordova - Bog - Dead Ink Books - Plusbog.dk

Monstrilio - Gerardo Samano Cordova - Bog - Dead Ink Books - Plusbog.dk

Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago''s lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family''s decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses-though curbed by his biological and chosen family''s communal care-threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life. A thought-provoking meditation on grief, acceptance, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty, Gerardo Samano Cordova blends bold imagination and evocative prose with deep emotional rigour. Told in four acts that span the globe from Mexico to Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers, with uncanny clarity, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.
