Book description
Cabaret in Flames: A Fever Dream of Blood and Betrayal
Hache Pueyo doesn't just write stories-she crafts visceral experiences that burrow into your chest and refuse to let go. Cabaret in Flames proves why Pueyo stands among today's most daring speculative voices, weaving a tale that's equal parts medical horror, political thriller, and intimate character study.
This isn't your typical vampire narrative. Pueyo reimagines the undead as Guls-brutal, flesh-hungry creatures who've embedded themselves in Brazil's highest echelons of power. Against this backdrop of supernatural corruption, we follow Ariadne, a survivor whose body bears the scars of a Gul attack and whose heart carries the weight of abandonment. When her mentor Erik vanishes, she's forced to confront not only the monsters who destroyed her but the complicated feelings she harbors for those who saved her.
What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is how Pueyo balances intimate character development with broader social commentary. Ariadne's journey into Rio's underground cabaret scene feels both fantastical and urgently real. The author's background in exploring gender dynamics within speculative fiction adds layers of complexity often missing from supernatural thrillers.
The relationship between Ariadne and Quaint crackles with tension and vulnerability. Their investigation into Erik's disappearance becomes a meditation on found family, trauma, and the price of survival in a world where the powerful feast on the vulnerable.
Pueyo's prose is sharp and unflinching, perfectly suited to audiobook format where every carefully chosen word carries weight. This is speculative fiction at its most purposeful-entertainment that challenges while it entrances. Cabaret in Flames doesn't just deserve your attention; it demands it. Listen with the lights on, but don't skip the final chapter. You'll want to experience every moment of Pueyo's masterful conclusion.
