In this award-winning horror novel from Latin America, a community of women and children--and one man--fight for survival in a harsh and terrifying Cuban rainforest where the gods require appeasement through brutal sacrifice. >To ensure the forest's protection, its inhabitants must renounce their rights and any trace of hope. Among them is Benedicta, a cruel and prolific "whelp" producer, now past her prime. The timid Lazaro, the community's only man, fears the forest, Benedicta, and the memory of his mother. Benedicta's daughter, Ifigenia, lives on borrowed time as she anticipates the forest's call. She loathes everyone, including the feral "she-dog" Ananda, whose fury has given way to madness. And then there's Romina, a hardened newcomer to the forest who may just break the cycle.
A Carribean-flavored novel of gothic horror from one of Latin America's most exciting young writers, What the Forest Devours is a macabre examination of what women must sacrifice to survive in a society with the power to destroy them at any turn. With its spine-tingling allegories, impressive imaginative vision, and a dazzling translation courtesy of acclaimed translator Kevin Gerry Dunn, English language readers can experience the dazzling masterpiece that has swallowed the Spanish literary world whole.
Elaine Vilar Madruga (La Habana, 1989) es una de las voces más poderosas y singulares de una generación de autoras latinoamericanas que está redefiniendo el terror y el gótico desde postulados feministas y de género. Nieta gore del boom, su obra se adentra en los territorios abisales del cuerpo, la maternidad, la violencia y los sistemas de control social. Novelista, dramaturga y poeta, sus libros han sido publicados en más de veinte países y galardonados con numerosos reconocimientos internacionales por su personal cruce entre lo realista y lo fantástico en una narrativa híbrida y feroz, profundamente política.
