It takes a highly skilled, intelligent writer with impeccable control of her craft to keep me glued to the page, and I was. Mitzi Szereto carefully guides us through the very nasty underbelly of the darkest of Miami's dark side in a gritty tale where love is scarce and violence rules 24/7. "Look out readers! Florida Gothic will shock you to your core. "Mitzi Szereto's Florida Gothic is like an alligator-quick, powerful and primal-once it has you, it will not let go!"-Mark Onspaugh, Deadlight Jack Raunchy, gory, and impossible to put down! Follow the 'Pied Piper of cucarachas' at your own risk!"-Lucy Taylor, The Safety of Unknown Cities "From gators with a taste for human flesh to a meth-addled son of a drug kingpin at the wheel of a Hummer, Mitzi Szereto's Florida Gothic exposes the world of South Florida's seediest through the rotting eyes of a revenge-driven corpse. Solid, slippery, bug-eyed fun."-Peter Straub, Interior Darkness: Selected Stories "Mitzi Szereto's dark night of the soul is one wild, soul-blasting old mother of a trip, plus maggots, cockroaches, and cocaine. (Book 1 in The "Gothic" Series from Mitzi Szereto) Set against the sweltering bug-infested backdrop of South Florida, Florida Gothic weaves a darkly unnerving and visceral tale of sex, drugs, crime and vengeance. But they'll soon know what it is to feel pain.
These men care nothing for the pain they've caused. The son of a Colombian drug kingpin partying in South Beach. The judge enjoying retirement on the Gulf Coast. The meth head ex-con living in the Everglades. He thinks about his death as he watches his body slowly decompose. He thinks about his daughter, the victim of a drunk driver. He thinks about his wife, taken from him too soon by illness. Being dead gives Ernesto plenty of time to think. Then an alligator comes along to finish the job. Stuck in a twilight world between life and death…Ī hit-and-run driver leaves Ernesto Martinez to die by a Miami canal.
