An extremely creepy and atmospheric horror novel that follows multiple generations of a family involved with a mystical cult in Argentina. The book contrasts supernatural horrors against real world ones like the privations of colonialism, the disappeared people of Argentina's Dirty War, and the AIDS crisis. It has a way of letting horror elements creep up on you until suddenly you find yourself immersed something truly awful. A truly great read.
