"An effective and sympathetic exploration of lies--and the importance of telling the truth." - KIRKUS REVIEWSThe line between imagination and lie blur in The Fib by award-winning horror and science fiction writer Pedro Iniguez. When Pepe struggles to find something exciting for show and tell, he spins a little lie about a magical creature with horns like a ram, claws like a bear, wings like a bat, eyes like an owl, and a tail like a lion. But, Pepe and his class soon discover that this harmless fib takes on a life of its own-- literally-- growing into a giant, uncontrollable monster that threatens to eat the entire school. As chaos ensues, Pepe learns a valuable lesson: even the smallest fib can spiral out of control, but the truth holds the power to set things right.

In Fever Dreams of a Parasite Iniguez weaves haunting tales that traverse worlds both familiar and alien. Paying homage to Lovecraft, Ligotti, and Langan, these cosmic horror, weird fiction, and folk-inspired stories explore tales of outsiders, killers, and tormented souls as they struggle to survive the lurking terrors of a cold and cruel universe. With symbolism and metaphor pulled from his Latino roots, Iniguez cuts deep into the political undercurrent to expose an America rarely presented in fiction. Whether it's the desperation of poverty, the fear of deportation or the countless daily slights endured by immigrants, these tales are about people who are usually overlooked. This fresh perspective is often delivered with a twist that allows us to see the mundane with fresh eyes. Advance Praise"...filled with stories of inequality, toxic masculinity, economic disparities, the weird, the cosmic, the gritty, the visceral, the beautiful and the uncomfortable. Every word and sentence act as fingernails scraping under the skin..."-Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Linghun"Savage, brutal, harrowing and riveting. Pedro Iniguez has created a nightmare collection of stories filled with unexpected twists, disturbing plots, unforgettable characters and ghastly settings."-Nuzo Onoh, "Queen of African Horror" & Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient"Rites and rituals ancient and modern ensnare even as they liberate. Iniguez's Fever Dreams of a Parasite will infect your soul with no cure in sight."-Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. Bram Stoker nominated editor of best-seller Never Whistle at Night"Among a rising tide of excellent contemporary horror, Fever Dreams of a Parasite seized my attention. Watch out for Iniguez." -Laird Barron author of Not a Speck of Light
