THE SKY OF THE JUNGLE, ELAINE VILAR EARLY MORNING

The jungle is a hungry god. One that allows you to live safely within its domain but demands the highest price in return. Its voracity is never-ending, and those who live under its control suffer.
They must hand over their children as part of a cyclical tribute
cannibal.
Elaine Vilar Madruga's new novel (following her acclaimed 'The Tyranny of the Flies', published by Barrett, winner of the 2021 Cálamo Prize, and currently in its sixth edition) is a Caribbean horror story in which mothers are forced to raise their own children as future food, in a sacrifice made of blood and madness. In this dystopian tale of atrocity, if one wishes to survive, no woman can choose not to be a mother. And no mother can avoid becoming a mere producer of human flesh so that the system of offerings and rewards can continue to function.
Outside, beyond the jungle's boundaries, a ruthless world of guerrillas and drug traffickers makes life impossible. The jungle offers its inhabitants a life and a sense of security, but they relinquish all rights and hope in this horrific fable about motherhood and the female body.
