Silver Nitrate

From a New York Times best-selling author comes a dark thriller that blends Mexican horror cinema with Nazi occultism. The story follows Montserrat, a talented sound editor in 1990s Mexico City who is often overlooked by the male-dominated film industry. When her friend Tristán introduces them to Abel Urueta, a cult horror director, they become entangled in a legend about a cursed film created by a Nazi occultist. As they work to uncover the film’s obscure origins and finish the missing scene, Montserrat discovers that magic and sorcery are not just movie fiction—they may be waking her own hidden powers.

Montserrat and Tristán soon feel a chilling presence as the project advances. Tristán begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend, while Montserrat senses a dark force trailing her. The pursuit to lift the curse draws them deeper into a mystery that blurs the line between cinema and sorcery, suggesting that the secrets of the silver nitrate stock carry real consequences beyond the screen.
