Goddess of Filth

One hot summer night, best friends Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a séance. It's all fun and games at first, but their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors.


Over the next few weeks, shy, modest Fernanda starts acting strangely-smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rose thorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon, but Lourdes begins to suspect it's something else-something far more ancient and powerful.


As Father Moreno's obsession with Fernanda grows, Lourdes enlists the help of her "bruja Craft crew" and a professor, Dr. Camacho, to understand what is happening to her friend in this unholy tale of possession-gone-right.

This book was only 141 pages, but I felt like it had 3+ storylines that could have each been their own book in a series! I really enjoyed the visuals, the characters, and the overall story itself, but I felt like there was just a lot missing. I wanted more from the story of the girls, even of their lives in the future, of the priest, more on the family background of Fernanda, and of the Goddess herself. If these could all be better fleshed out, this would make a damn good movie. I just really needed more, all over. I would definitely like to get into more this author's more recent books. And the cover, THE COVER?!?! Absolutely gorgeous - with the spine going up the spine, too? Are you friggin kidding me!?
