[...] there's plenty to recommend this female-centric collection on. Readers interested in speculative explorations of Mexican American culture and mythology--or those just looking for action-packed, cathartic narratives--should snap this up., Praise for QUEEN OF THE CICADAS"In the age of phony fiction, V. Castro is the voice of authenticity; una voz que lucha por la igualdad. Dark, atmospheric, sexy, and dangerous, her fiction brings readers her unfiltered Latinx essence and a unique pulpy flavor. Her work matters. Read it." - Gabino Iglesias, author of Coyote Songs"In The Queen of the Cicadas, there's a thin, bloody veil between worlds, the past isn't past at all, and you can feel your heart beating in the pages, the words pulsing with life. Touch them if you dare, and don't be surprised if they quiver into flight all around you." - Stephen Graham Jones, NYT bestselling author of The Only Good Indians"V. Castro writes like her blood is in the ink. Queen of the Cicadas is the best urban legend story since Candyman, layered and dark and hideously beautiful. It will get way under your skin. If Castro's not already on your radar, she should be." - Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Red Hands"Writing in breathtaking, atmospheric prose, Castro (Hairspray and Switchblades) merges brutal realism and supernatural terror to create a fierce, memorable tale of Mexican folklore and horror." - Publishers Weekly Starred Review"Castro's novel shifts seamlessly from deliciously gory horror narrative to family saga to a tale of righteous vengeance, all while maintaining its unflinching condemnation of colonialism on both sides of the Mexican-American border. A tightly paced story of anti-colonial resistance and shared history that begs to be read in one sitting." - Kirkus Starred Review"A riveting #ownvoices novel exploring Mexican folk tales and legends mingled with the history of Texas [...] Castro does not pull any punches. Readers seeking originality and a fresh take on well-worn horror tropes should pick up this novel by a dynamic and innovative voice in horror. - Booklist Starred Review"V. Castro's MESTIZA BLOOD is horror close to the bone. These are stories about desperate people who finally fall off the edge. Castro shows them hanging on by their fingernails and then somehow, clawing their way back. Her sharp eye for visceral violence and honest depictions of sexuality, aging, and class is astounding. Every story has impact. Every one feels all too real." - Glen Mazzara, TV writer/showrunner (THE WALKING DEAD, DAMIEN)"Castro delivers an unflinching, honest, raw, and thought-provoking horror tale that is both serious in its social commentary and fun to read. For fans of gruesome, vengeance-themed horror that is deeply tied to its place and the marginalized identities of its protagonists" - Becky Spratford, Literary Journal, Praise for QUEEN OF THE CICADAS"In the age of phony fiction, V.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
