El horizonte del grito, by Maximiliano Barrientos, is a contemporary novel of dark and overflowing imagination, set where horror, trance, and violence open up a landscape almost impossible to name.

In this unexplored territory appear old Nazis seeking to revive themselves through adolescent bodies, sects devoted to ancestral trees, rituals around stolen organs, medium children capable of transferring consciousness from one body to another, churches burning at night, and bodies pierced by visions, wounds, and mutations.

Between Latin American narrative, ritual delirium, and imagery close to the most physical terror, Barrientos builds a novel about possessing voices, songs that lead to trance, and bodies turned into thresholds to other dimensions.
