Silver Nitrate

Silver Nitrate might be my favorite book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia yet! Combining film, the occult, history, cursed media, and even a will-it-or-won't-it friends-to-lovers arc, Silver Nitrate has a lot going on, and it's all awesome. Monserrat, a México City audio editor, and her best friend actor Tristan find themselves increasingly sucked in to a world of magic. Yet an old silver nitrate film may end up being more than they bargained for. This book combines elements of cursed media horror with a lot of fascinating information and presents a pair of compelling protagonists. While a few elements of the story didn't feel 100% paid off in this first read, I nevertheless enjoyed the book enough to call it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
