Sinopse
“Vampires are making a comeback, and Yuszczuk is spearheading their revival with this bloody novel.”—The New York Times Book Review
It is the nineteenth century, the twilight of Europe’s bloody bacchanals, and a vampire must escape. She arrives to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city. She adapts, intermingles with humans, and attempts to be discreet.
In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship to motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites inside the two women—and they cross a threshold from which there’s no turning back.
With echoes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Thirst plays with the boundaries of the Gothic genre while exploring the limits of female agency, all-consuming desire, and the fragile vitality of even the most immortal of creatures.
“Channeling Carmen Maria Machado and Anne Rice, Yuszczuk reimagines the vampire novel, with a distinctly Latin American feminist Gothic twist.”—The Millions

“This gripping tale is full of queer representation and lush, lyrical passages, all while exploring death with an air of nihilism…Vampires are making a comeback, and Yuszczuk is spearheading their revival with this bloody novel.”—The New York Times Book Review
“If it’s a sapphic twist on the paranormal you’re looking for, vampires are always a safe bet. In Yuszczuk’s feminist gothic fantasia, a 19th-century vampire and a modern-day woman encounter one another in a Buenos Aires cemetery, and their meeting ignites a fire between the two.”—Harper's Bazaar, "16 Best Queer Books of 2024"
"Twilight, but make it sapphic? I present you Thirst on a sexy, silver platter. Set in Buenos Aires across two different time periods, this novel is all about female agency, desire, and fragility."—Betches
