If you like Roberto Bolaño’s darkness, Fernando Vallejo’s rage, or Stephen King’s ability to make horror local and intimate—Mario Mendoza is your next obsession.
A short, brutal novel about a serial killer who believes he’s an angel of destruction. Set almost entirely in the filthy, forgotten bathrooms and alleys of Bogotá. No detective, no hope—just a descent into madness. Some call it Mendoza’s most disturbing book. Best for: Extreme literary horror. Not for the faint of heart. mejores libros de mario mendoza
