  • Overview

    Una arrebatadora novela gótica-vampírica-tropical, que entremezcla el horror con el folklor afrocaribeño en medio del vibrante caos del carnaval de Barranquilla. Ganadora del Premio de Narrativa Elisa Mújica.

    «Dicen que de cachorra le gustaba morder. Le arrancó pedazos de piel a tres sirvientas y a una casi la desangra». Julieta nació con los colmillos largos y un hambre insaciable, y, desde entonces, la familia Vanterroso supo que no sería fácil domesticarla. Ahora, esa niña feroz está a punto de convertirse en la reina del Carnaval de Barranquilla. Su abuela, la matriarca, la entrena para heredar el trono de una estirpe que se alimenta de sangre y poder. Pero entre finos bordados, pactos antiguos y danzas frenéticas, fuerzas ancestrales despiertan, atraídas y repelidas por el mismo deseo que las une: sobrevivir.

    Claudia Amador debuta con una novela que rebosa ritmo, ironía y oscuridad, al son de tambores y secretos. Con una prosa afilada y festiva, Altasangre es un aquelarre literario que no deja títere con cabeza. Vampiros sedientos, políticos inútiles y un elenco de personajes tan entrañables como temibles componen esta historia coral que se lee con la misma intensidad con la que se baila una cumbia endiablada. Una obra que evoca a las grandes voces de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea, pero con el sello inconfundible de una autora que escribe con humor feroz, mirada crítica y una imaginación desbordante.

    ---
    Amidst the coven of a bloodthirsty family, the matriarch prepares her granddaughter to become the next queen of the carnival. To the beat of drums and secrets, ancestral forces are revealed that they attract and repel. Altasangre "presents an intersection between Barranquilla society, carnival, Afro-Caribbean traditions, and the universe of vampires. It stands out for the thoroughness with which it creates a hybrid world that intertwines universes to construct a social and political remark enriched by the dimensions of the imagination." —The Jury of the 2024 Elisa Mújica National Narrative Prize.
