Goddess of Filth

Written by V. Castro

Narrated by Stacy Gonzalez

One hot summer night, best friends Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a seance. It's all fun and games at first, but their tipsy laughter turns to terror when the flames burn straight through their prayer candles and Fernanda starts crawling toward her friends and chanting in Nahuatl, the language of their Aztec ancestors.

Over the next few weeks, shy, modest Fernanda starts acting strangely-smearing herself in black makeup, shredding her hands on rose thorns, sucking sin out of the mouths of the guilty. The local priest is convinced it's a demon, but Lourdes begins to suspect it's something else-something far more ancient and powerful.

As Father Moreno's obsession with Fernanda grows, Lourdes enlists the help of her "bruja Craft crew" and a professor, Dr. Camacho, to understand what is happening to her friend in this unholy tale of possession-gone-right.

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Goddess of Filth

[Janie Baker · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Main character is soooo freaking whiney and the the whole victim mentality is just annoying. As a chicana from TX I really wanted to like this. But I had to force myself to finish it.

[Emily Malkowski · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Might just be me, but pretty sure this audiobook skips or is just flat out missing sections? Such a bummer.

[Bernaar Chambliss · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great story kept you on your toes, if you are religious it’s disturbing!

[Corvidae Addams · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful. So beautiful. For people who like stories about friends who stick together, and old gods.

[Raymie Crane · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a great book about finding yourself and your feminine power.

This only 156 pages so the book starts up fast paced and never stops until the very end. I had invested in the story the whole time.

We also get a little of Aztec Mythology

Often, the true monster is in plain sight, using his/her privilege to harm those around him/her.

[Libby Roth · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

My *only* critique is that a few scenes seemed disjointed or like I missed a chunk of time. It could’ve just been that it was in an audiobook format, rather than ebook/hard copy.
