Thrills and chills with Eli Cranor (Broiler) & Gabino Iglesias (House of Bone and Rain).
Nationally bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author Eli Cranor lives and writes from the banks of Lake Dardanelle in Russellville, where he is the writer in residence at Arkansas Tech University. In the new thriller Broiler, the troubles of two desperate families—one white, one Mexican American—converge in the ruthless underworld of an Arkansas chicken processing plant.
An award-winning novelist, journalist, professor, and literary critic living in Austin, Texas, Gabino Iglesias is the horror columnist for the New York Times Book Review. In House of Bone and Rain, a Latinx Stand by Me with a haunted, obsidianly dark heart, five childhood friends—now teenagers—take advantage of the chaos and darkness a hurricane brings to Puerto Rico to seek vengeance after the mother of one of the young men is murdered.
