I cannot believe I’m saying this, but tomorrow night, I will be boarding red-eye flight to Boston (!!) with a 2.5yo and an 11mo old to spend Thanksgiving with family. I somehow have to pack? I’m definitely not going to sleep? (It’s okay, that’s what Guillermo’s Frankenstein is for.) I don’t know what I’m doing or how I’m doing it, but I’m going to make it through in one piece.

In the interim! I come bearing glad tidings!

THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DÍAZ is a Goodreads Choice Awards pick for Horror! Please go vote for her! (a vote for Alba is a vote for prieeessssstflessssh)

I am so happy to complete this hat trick in what is essentially a massive publishing popularity contest. Popularity = sales = ya girl gets to keep sitting at the computer crafting Grade A yearning for you, dear reader. To celebrate, my publisher is running a giveaway on Goodreads! Enter to win copies of ALBA here!

I am also honored that the audiobook of THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DÍAZ, performed by the indomitable Carolina Hoyos and Anthony Rey Perez, is an Audible’s Editors’ Best of 2025 pick for horror!!! If you haven’t listened to it yet, and have a long flight ahead of you next week, I highly recommend it. Carolina and Anthony knocked it out of the goddamn park.

That might be it for ALBA news for the near future. Believe it or not (and trust me, I don’t), 2026 is right around the corner.

That means new year, new me, and new publications, baby:

In the very, very near future, I will be announcing my 2026 novel, [TITLE REDACTED, BUT ALSO, FINALLY DECIDED UPON, WHICH I STG TOOK 6 WEEKS OF ANGUISH].

This one has been percolating for a long, long time. I cannot wait to share it with you.

until next time,
