"twisty, pacy thriller/horror novel is part BRING HER BACK plus THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET, crossed with BEETLEJUICE." "stands out as the most original ghost story I’ve ever enjoyed, even among the hundreds I’ve read." Pretty big bookclub picked it up this month, so can you!

Top of the mornin', Gabino! Want some bittersweet coming of age/deconstructed romance that rhymes? I got you. 'Tis the season. Poetry not your thing and you'd rather have modern, ragtag salvors investigate a beautiful, terrifying anomaly on a distant planet? I got that, too!

It’s a great day to buy 3 books, minimum. You heard me. In fact, I aim to grab five. Why the fuck not?!? I love them. You do too. Maybe you buy mine, maybe you don’t. You should buy one min from your favorite Latina or Latino author first and run amok from there! Thnx

Morning, Gabino. Some news. Down and Out Books and I have parted ways, and I hope to land somewhere, and I’m sure I will, but these bad boys will be out of print for a while. Now would be the time to get them if anyone has been on the fence.
