Independent Press Award: GAB TALKS with Nati del Paso
"Women of Fire and Snow" is a riveting collection of contemporary stories of women straddling the Mexican-American border while finding their place and voice. Cultural identity, gender violence, forced migration, sacrifice, love, and resiliency frame suspenseful tales where realism is tempered by the supernatural and mystical.
* An undocumented teenager is ripped from her home to fight a monster in a haunted town.
* A college student confronts evil when ICE detains her father.
* While rescuing her nephew at the border, a young woman wrestles with her privilege and the power of Santa Muerte.
* A curandera battles a demon while her granddaughter confronts her violent husband.
* A young Chicana from Seattle travels to Mexico, plunging into a secret society to combat rampant femicide.
From the deserts and volcanoes of Mexico to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, these fast-paced stories blend social commentary with classic and psychological horror.
