But none of that seems so terrible when she’s already witnessed the most horrific thing possible: in the early months of 2020, her sister Delilah was pushed in front of a train as Cora stood next to her. Before fleeing the scene, the murderer whispered two words:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ebat eater\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the bloody messes don’t really bother Cora—she’s more bothered by the possible germs on the subway railing, the bare hands of a stranger, the hidden viruses in every corner. And by the strange spots in her eyes and that food keeps going missing in her apartment. Of course, ever since Delilah was killed in front of her, Cora can’t be sure what anxiety is real and what’s in her head. She can barely keep herself together as it is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe pushes away all feelings, ignoring the bite marks that appear on her coffee table, ignoring the advice of her aunt to burn joss paper and other paper replicas of items to send to the dead and to prepare for the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of hell open. Ignores the dread in her stomach as she and her weird coworkers keep finding bat carcasses at their crime scene cleanups. Ignores the scary fact that all their recent cleanups have been the bodies of Asian women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as Cora will soon learn, you can’t just ignore hungry ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIRA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50285083263273,"sku":"9780778368458","price":608.79,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":52884299186473,"sku":"9781335001528","price":370.3,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/9420\/7529\/files\/9780778368458_6caf9.jpg?v=1746222211","url":"https:\/\/www.bookup.com.mx\/products\/bat-eater-and-other-names-for-cora-zeng-a-darkly-funny-gory-and-ghostly-horror-novel","provider":"BOOKUPMX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
