For fans of Olrox who want more Indigenous Mesoamerican vampires, the mod highly recommends the novel "Certain Dark Things" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia about Aztec vampires fighting for power in urban Mexico City 🦇

“Do you remember what it was to be young?” She asked.

“Every trouble would be solved by sundown, and every dawn you'd have a new chance to remake the world.”

“The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets. Don’t listen to them, press your hands against your ears, Noemí. There are ghosts. They’re real. You’ll see them eventually.”

Mexican Gothic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Agnes barely shows up but her story stuck out to me the most. This woman was set up to be sacrificed and used for all eternity by a man and was striped from her identity until Noemi (who is personally being watched and messed with by the men+gloom) comes and sets her free. The connection these two have is so interesting to me! yum !!!

This house is sick with rot, stinks of decay, brims with every single evil and cruel sentiment. I have tried to hold on to my wits, to keep this foulness away but I cannot and I find myself losing track of time and thoughts. Please. Please. They are cruel and unkind and they will not let me go. I bar my door but still they come, they whisper at nights and I am so afraid of these restless dead, these ghosts, fleshless things.
