Gabino Iglesias

U Gejba, Khavera, Tavo, Pola i Bimbo s detstva druzhba vsegda byla svjazana so smertju. Uragany. Avtomobilnye avarii. Banditskie razborki. Babushka Gejba chasto povtorjala: "Estamos rodeados de fantasmas" - "My okruzheny prizrakami". No na etot raz vse inache. Mat Bimbo zastrelena. "My ubem tekh, kto eto sdelal", - kljanetsja on nad ee mogiloj. I vse soglashajutsja. Okhvachennyj gorem, Bimbo ne schadit nikogo v poiske ubijts. On vykhodit na ljudej, rabotajuschikh na krupnejshego narkobarona Puerto-Riko. Nikto ranshe ne osmelivalsja brosit emu vyzov i vyzhit. Poka podrostki vynashivajut plan mesti, na gorizonte pojavljaetsja tajfun nebyvaloj sily. Vse znajut, chto uragany nesut v sebe zlykh dukhov - dukhov, kotorye ustanavlivajut svoi zakony. Smeshivaja mif, mistitsizm vudu i mrachnuju realnost, Iglesias sozdaet trevozhnuju istoriju vzroslenija: obrechennaja druzhba, plody nasilija, loa kladbisch i te, kto prikhodit s prilivom. "Kniga peredaet ne tolko razrushenija uragana, unesshego tysjachi zhiznej, no i povsednevnuju zhizn ujazvimogo soobschestva s porazitelnoj, pochti osjazaemoj detalizatsiej... Imenno v rezkikh, uverennykh, a inogda i udivitelno krasivykh opisanijakh avtor prevraschaet mrachnost i pessimizm Puerto-Riko v naprjazhennyj khorror". - Kristofer Bollen "Zakhvatyvajusche, zhutko i nevozmozhno otorvatsja. Etot roman - temnaja istorija vzroslenija, propitannaja prizrachnym uzhasom. Avtor potrjasajusche uverenno balansiruet na grani mezhdu kriminalom i khorrorom". - Meg Gardiner "Odin iz samykh naprjazhennykh, strashnykh i odnovremenno trogatelno-proniknovennykh sovremennykh romanov. Istorija o nasilii i prizrakakh, druzhbe i smertonosnykh uraganakh, nesuschikh razrushenija. I eto nezabyvaemo". - Mariana Enrikes "Simfonija mesti, nasilija i predannosti. Smes istorii vzroslenija, naprjazhennogo puteshestvija i ekshena, ot kotorogo nevozmozhno otorvatsja. Kniga do poslednego ostaetsja krasivoj, temnoj i bezzhalostnoj. Letom prikhodit shtorm... i ego imja - Gabino Iglesias". - Richard Chizmar "Pulsirujuschaja istorija mesti, ispachkannaja krovju saga o druzhbe i razrushenijakh, o nasilii, besposchadnykh bogakh i bespokojnykh prizrakakh, o ljubvi, potere i pravednom gneve. Zakhvatyvajuschij temp, jarkij jazyk i dinamichnye personazhi - smes kriminalnogo trillera i sverkhestestvennogo uzhasa. Absoljutno genialno". - Rejchel Kharrison "Produmannaja i zhestokaja, lirichnaja i moschnaja istorija - misticheskaja, emotsionalnaja, - kotoraja ne otpuskaet i ostaetsja s vami nadolgo. Otkrojte etu knigu i vstretite uragan". - Majkl Korita "Neumolimyj i moschnyj roman avtora prikhodit kak tajfun, - veter, puli, krov, nadezhda, - chitaesh ego, zataiv dykhanie, v ozhidanii kulminatsii shtorma stoletija". - Deniel Kraus "Slozhno spletennyj sjuzhet, jarkaja i bukvalno oschutimaja atmosfera mesta, potrjasajusche lirichnyj jazyk. Roman vydajuschijsja, luch sveta v temnote; sovershenno originalnaja istorija, uverenno prodolzhajuschaja traditsii zhanra khorrora". - Booklist "Vozmite masterstvo Stivena Kinga, schepotku ostrosjuzhetki Dona Uinslou i dobavte nemnogo magicheskogo realizma - vot koktejl Iglesiasa. Pjatero malchikov, druzja s detstva, okruzheny prizrakami, nasiliem i neschastjami. Sjuzhet, napominajuschij "Ostansja so mnoj", prevraschaetsja v istoriju mesti. Avtor beret znakomoe i delaet ego po-nastojaschemu strashnym". - The Washington Post "Avtor sozdaet istoriju o prizrakakh, gangsterskikh krovavykh razborkakh i katastroficheskom tajfune cherez sudby kompanii druzej iz Puerto-Riko, kotorye ischut mesti posle ubijstva materi odnogo iz nikh. Esli eto magicheskij realizm, to temnyj i grjaznyj, bez poschady". - Boston Globe "Chuvstvo gorja i bespomoschnosti posle uragana "Marija" na ostrove usilivaetsja dobavleniem sverkhestestvennykh elementov". - Kirkus Reviews "Iglesias soedinjaet istoriju, vuduizm i mify Puerto-Riko s surovoj istoriej vzroslenija, a obilie opisanij nasilija mogut ottolknut nekotorykh chitatelej. No te, kto ljubit krovavyj khorror, budut v vostorge". - Publishers Weekly "Dinamichnyj sverkhestestvennyj triller. Trupy, jasnovidjaschie, predateli i prizraki s zhabrami! Iglesias pishet s zheleznoj reshimostju, pokazyvaja uzkij, oderzhimyj vzgljad svoikh molodykh geroev, na kotoryj ne vlijajut dazhe zhivye materi, sestry, ili somnevajuschiesja podrugi". - Shelf Awareness "V svoem novom proizvedenii avtor sozdaet istoriju vzroslenija, gde perepletajutsja druzhba, mest i mistitsizm. Velikolepnaja proza demonstriruet tonkuju granitsu mezhdu dukhovnym mirom i surovoj realnostju. Rekomendovano fanatam S. A. Kosbi i Stivena Grema Dzhonsa, a takzhe ljubiteljam nuara s moschnoj atmosferoj". - Library Journal

A "vivid and visceral, gritty and magical, dark and soaring" (Meg Gardiner) novel from one of the most electrifying voices in contemporary crime fiction, Gabino Iglesias, this deeply honest story follows several, lost, desperate folk in the heart of the southwest. In this mosaic horror/crime novel, ghosts and old gods guide the hands of those caught up in a violent struggle to save the soul of the American southwest. A man tasked with shuttling children over the border believes the Virgin Mary is guiding him towards final justice. A woman offers colonizer blood to the Mother of Chaos. A boy joins corpse destroyers to seek vengeance for the death of his father. These stories intertwine with those of a vengeful spirit and a hungry creature to paint a timely, compelling, pulpy portrait of revenge, family, and hope.

The first novel from one of the most electrifying voices in contemporary crime fiction, Gabino Iglesias, follows Fernando, a drug dealer and enforcer living in Austin whose life takes a lethal turn when an unknown gang with seemingly supernatural abilities arrives on his turf. Enforcer and drug dealer Fernando has seen better days. On his way home from work, some heavily-tattooed gangsters throw him in the back of a car and take him to an abandoned house, where they saw off his friend's head and feed the kid's fingers to...something. Their message is clear: this is their territory, now. But Fernando isn't put down that easily. Using the assistance of a Santeria priestess, an insane Puerto Rican pop sensation, a very human dog, and a Russian hitman, he'll build the courage (and firepower) he'll need to fight a gangbanger who's a bit more than human.

From the Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil Takes You Home, a group of five teenage boys in Puerto Rico seek vengeance after one of their mothers is murdered. Set during a vicious hurricane, a Latinx Stand By Me with a haunted, dark heart. For childhood friends Gabe, Xavier, Tavo, Paul, and Bimbo, death has always been close. Hurricanes. Car accidents. Gang violence. Suicide. Estamos rodeados de fantasmas was Gabe’s grandmother’s refrain. We are surrounded by ghosts. But this time is different. Bimbo's mom has been shot dead. We’re gonna kill the guys who killed her Bimbo swears. And they all agree. Feral with grief, Bimbo has become unrecognizable, taking no prisoners in his search for names. As the boys strategize, a storm gathers far from the Puerto Rican coast. Hurricanes are known to carry evil spirits in their currents and bring them ashore, spirits which impose their own order. From the Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker Award®-winning author, this is a harrowing coming-of-age story; a doomed tale of devotion, the afterlife of violence, and what rolls in on the tide.

This genre-defying, Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker award-winning thriller follows a father desperate to salvage what's left of his family--even if it means a descent into violence. Buried in debt due to his young daughter's illness, his marriage at the brink, Mario reluctantly takes a job as a hitman, surprising himself with his proclivity for violence. After tragedy destroys the life he knew, Mario agrees to one final job: hijack a cartel's cash shipment before it reaches Mexico. Along with an old friend and a cartel-insider named Juanca, Mario sets off on the near-suicidal mission, which will leave him with either a cool $200,000 or a bullet in the skull. But the path to reward or ruin is never as straight as it seems. As the three complicated men travel through the endless landscape of Texas, across the border and back, their hidden motivations are laid bare alongside nightmarish encounters that defy explanation. One thing is certain: even if Mario makes it out alive, he won't return the same. The Devil Takes You Home is a panoramic odyssey for fans of S. A. Cosby's southern noir, Blacktop Wasteland, by way of the boundary-defying storytelling of Stephen Graham Jones and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
