Böcker av Cynthia Gómez

SPLIT SCREAM has a new home at Tenebrous Press! Editor Alex Ebenstein brings his acclaimed split-novelette series back featuring:"The Shivering World" - Cynthia GómezNayeli's brilliance should be enough to outshine the darkness she longs to leave behind, but she fears she'll never get further than what her unstable mother can provide: a futon in a garage. She's determined to transfer to a good college and get out, but the men in her life-a violent neighbor, a greedy landlord, her mother's predatory boyfriend-stand in her way. Only once she encounters the supernatural, a being she suspects to be La Llorona herself, does Nayeli begin to truly see the power she is capable of. But at what cost? "The Shivering World" is a Faustian bargain in a place of poverty and gentrification, where supernatural terrors meet the horrors of escaping to a new life."What Ate the Angels" - M. Lopes da SilvaNon-binary ASMR artist November discovers the sound of a giant heartbeat beneath Los Angeles, which only they seem to hear. When their vore-loving partner Heather, a City Hall archivist, grows ill and can't get the healthcare she needs, they believe they will find a solution through the thrum. November journeys underground, through abandoned Prohibition-era tunnels, to the den of a creature born from the fabric of the city itself: oil, bones, chemicals-and souls. "What Ate the Angels" is queer body horror full of dread and pulpy, throbbing filth.

The world is crumbling around us. This is an increasingly inescapable fact, as the ice at the poles melts at unprecedented rates, conflicts continue to escalate, new plagues befall humanity, and systems that perpetuate inequality begin to crack under their own weight. Even as the world burns before us, sometimes quite literally, glimmers of a new way forward emerge.As many of us begin to wake up, we do so with an understanding that things can''t continue as they have been. Humanity cannot survive a timeline of unfettered destruction. We are at a critical choice point. We are indeed, the ones we have been waiting for. Will we rise to the challenge? We are being called to transform ourselves from the inside out, to become the bringers of a New Earth, where abundance is a birthright and compassion for all life is a common thread.Will we be who we know ourselves to be, embodying the truest expression of our highest selves? Will we do the often-difficult work of shining light onto the shadows, wherever they might exist, to bring both ourselves and our reality into greater alignment with source? This is the great re-balancing, and it requires every one of us to walk this Earth in service to light.This book is not only a call to action, but also a guide for walking as spirit in this life, for living on purpose, and creating ripples of light that expand infinitely outwards. We were made for this, and we came here with a job to do. We are the way showers and the way forward. Though we ourselves may be aflame, we are meant to rise from the ashes. It is this ascent that makes a new world possible. As within, so without. So rise, light tribe. The time is now.
