Episode 77 | Haunted Moonlight Book Club: Silver Nitrate

In this spine-tingling episode, we step into the eerie world of Silver Nitrate, Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s chilling blend of supernatural horror, noir mystery, and forgotten film lore. Set in the gritty heart of 1990s Mexico City, the story follows Montserrat, a passionate sound editor with a love for horror movies, and her longtime friend Tristán, a once-famous soap star struggling to find purpose. When they cross paths with a reclusive horror director convinced that one of his films was cursed with real-life occult power, they’re drawn into a sinister mystery where magic, myth, and old film reels intertwine. We’ll be diving deep into the story—including major plot points and twists—so beware: spoilers ahead. Join us as we explore how Moreno-Garcia masterfully resurrects the haunting atmosphere of classic horror while weaving in the darker undercurrents of history and belief. If you’re ready for a slow-burning tale filled with eerie nostalgia, urban legends, and things that go bump behind the screen—this one’s for you. Thank you for listening. Keep it spooky!
