Jawbone (Mandíbula)
Mónica Ojeda, Sarah Booker (translation)First published in Spanish as Mandíbula (Barcelona: Editorial Candaya, 2018)
"Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?"
Fernanda & Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers & estranged from Annelise?
When Fernanda, Annelise, & their friends from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention. Even more perilous is the secret Annelise & Fernanda share, rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality.
Interweaving pop culture references & horror concepts drawn from from Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, & anonymous “creepypastas,” Jawbone is an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in the pure potentiality of adolescence & the fine line between desire & fear.
