The Story
Hache Pueyo returns after But Not Too Bold with her new novella Cabaret in Flames, where Interview with the Vampire meets Certain Dark Things in an alternate-Brazil where brutal flesh-hungering Guls stalk the night streets and manipulate the government from their glittering cabaret
Guls can be brutal. Few know this better than Ariadne, who lost half her body to their appetites, but their brutality is a predictable constant amid Brazil's political chaos. Now, she treats them in the specialized clinic she inherited from Erik Yurkov--the mentor who rescued her as a child, trained her in medicine, built her prostheses, and disappeared without a trace. Ariadne's routine is disturbed when Quaint knocks on her door: a charming, tattooed gul claiming to be Erik's oldest friend. Quaint suspects foul play in Erik's disappearance, and they soon discover Erik sought asylum at Cabaré, an infamous club in Rio de Janeiro frequented by the gul elite. Together, Ariadne and Quaint will unravel the conspiracy behind their friend's disappearance, navigate the labyrinthine world of Ariadne's memories, and discover what Erik means to them--and what they are starting to mean to each other.Author: Hache Pueyo
