By Homero Aridjis. 2012
"Accompanied by Pek, a xolo dog with whom he has a lively conversation, José Navaja searches for his brother, who…
may have been murdered. The search takes him from Mexico City to Ciudad Juárez and the Mexica underworld, where he meets a whole range of sinister and spectral characters: narcos, their girlfriends, psychopathic policemen, kidnappers hunted to death, gods of the Aztec pantheon, rabid hitmen, and orphaned children waiting to grow up to become predators. This novel is a sort of mythological thriller, but it is also much more than that: a successful conjunction of past and present, of representation of today's brutal Mexico and the ancient supernatural world of gods, priests and hitmen where both solar rites and human sacrifices are practiced; finally, it is also a tribute to the ancestors before the mestizaje, to their speech and their worldview, which have crossed several centuries and resonate in our present." -- Translation provided by NLSHarry Potter y el prisionero de Azkaban

Sangre de Emanuel
By Ted Dekker. 2011
"This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story. It is a dangerous tale of times past. A…
love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice. Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover. With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow. Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter. But remember, not everyone is for this story." -- Goodreads¿En quién piensas cuando haces el amor? (Vintage español)

"In these pages the author places himself after the end of the millennium and, with an apocalyptic tone, prophesies the…
evils that will befall a mythical Moctezuma city, a future metaphor for today's Mexico City, scene of frequent ecological disasters and capital of the end of the era of the Fifth Sun. Above the catastrophes and the difficulty of living in a city of such magnitude, the characters wander with their own burden of love and heartbreak, as happens to Luis Antonio with his sister-in-law María, identical twin of Rosalba, his deceased wife. Yo Sánchez uses theater as a lighting technique and is linked to the family of the protagonists. This is a dizzying play, loaded with irony and black humor, that carries the questioning of the human being in the megalopolis." -- Translation provided by NLSTercer mundo
By Pedro Cabiya. 2019
"Orishas, saints, luases, demons and angels frolic in a fantastic Puerto Rico that only the fertile imagination of Pedro Cabiya…
could have conceived. Different ministries of the multiverse's administrative bureaucracy compete to recover the valuable extraterrestrial contraband abandoned in Santurce, capital of the Borikwa Republic.... But stealing the loot won't be as easy as they think. Political satire and cosmic parody combine in a web of espionage and action where the great questions of existence share space with the most profane humor, producing a novel that resists classification within the known genres, announcing a new one. Prequel to his immensely popular novel |Trance|, |Third World| promises, like its predecessor, a reading that is impossible to interrupt." -- Translation provided by NLSDragón y sus labores (Dragon.

By Carmen Martín Gaite. 2016
"In 1949, Carmen Martín Gaite suffered an episode of very high fevers that introduced her into a labyrinth of delirium…
and dreamlike images. Out of that experience came |The Fever Book|, a poetic, surrealist text, in which she tried to rescue the fleeting visions she had had. Her enthusiasm for publishing what she had written turned into disillusionment when she realized that the people around her did not value her work positively, and the text remained unpublished almost in its entirety, kept in the "writer's workshop," as an example of fantastic writing in its infancy. In 2007, after Martín Gaite's death, this first essay of hers was published, in which we can glimpse many of the themes that the author from Salamanca developed in her later work: the symbolism of objects and places, the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, the construction of the self through memory, the reflection on writing.... All these motifs refer us to her narrative world, and allow the unconditional reader to peek into the beginnings of one of the great authors of the Spanish twentieth century." -- Translation provided by NLS; Spanish LanguageWayward witch (Brooklyn Brujas series.
