The First World and the Third World are the bread in this sandwich and we
are the baloney! So a character describes the sprawling industrial war zone on
the U.S./Mexico border that is Ciudad Juarez, the epicenter of the drug trade
where the Third World comes to make what the First World wants.
Hundreds of young women have been abducted, raped and murdered here, yet
the ongoing tragedy of 'las desaparecidas' remains unsolved.
Into this smoldering devil's stew steps an eccentric English journalist, the
sometime employee of an occult magazine in London that attempts 'the
rational examination of irrational phenomena', on his way from Miami to Los
Angeles by bus.
The book is NOT a typical genre 'vampire' novel but a satire that exposes the
hypocrisy of the War on Drugs and examines the cause of the horror that has
been perpetrated on the women of Juarez. It owes a great deal to the brilliant
collaboration of Charles Bowden and Julian Cardona.
The Italian reviewer Susanna Raule called the novel fast-moving, eloquent an
funny and at the same time profoundly violent and distressing but added that
irony saves it from insupportable sadness and instead creates a fresh and
captivating story.
The Vampires of Juarez is the first book of Alan Scarfe's 'Carnivore' Trilogy
and is followed by The Demons of 9/11 and The Mask of the Holy Spirit.
