Montserrat has always been overlooked. She’s a talented sound editor, but she’s left out of the boys’ club running the film industry in ’90s Mexico City. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood.

Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives—even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed.

Now the director wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse . . . but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her, and Tristán begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend.

As they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Tristán may find that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies.

I recommend the "book club kits" on Moreno-Garcia's website.
For Silver Nirtate, there's a lovely poster, background material, and a bonus short story that was the inspiration for Silver Nitrate.

You know, I'm pretty sure I read this one. But can't remember a thing. Maybe time for a reread.

I'm skipping the anthology this time around as I have soooo many anthologies and prefer multi-author unless I'm familiar with the author

This book was originally published by Arkham House [1948], and is regarded as an important landmark book in the Weird Tale genre of Horror Fiction.

S.T. Joshi writes, "This volume is still a landmark collection, and ought to be in every weird connoisseur’s library."

How can I NOT take the opportunity to be labeled a weird connoisseur? I'm in.

Night Film by Marisha Pessl is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US

Not sure if this is horror or suspense. But I've had it on my ereaderIQ for a while.

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova—a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than thirty years.

For McGrath, another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova’s dark and unsettling films, very little is known about the man himself.

Driven by revenge, curiosity, and a need for the truth, McGrath, with the aid of two strangers, is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova’s eerie, hypnotic world.

The last time he got close to exposing the director, McGrath lost his marriage and his career. This time he might lose even more.

Night Film, the gorgeously written, spellbinding new novel by the dazzlingly inventive Marisha Pessl, will hold you in suspense until you turn the final page.
