Horror Lit Book Club: The Queen of the Cicadas
July 28, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Please join us for our July Horror Lit Book Club! This will be our first in-person meeting in over a year; our neighbors at Heirloom Rustic Ales have an outdoor table reserved for us! We just ask that if you are unvaccinated, you wear a mask; for those that are fully vaccinated, masks are optional. This month, we will be discussing The Queen of the Cicadas by V. Castro:
In the age of phony fiction, V. Castro is the voice of authenticity; una voz que lucha por la igualdad. Dark, atmospheric, sexy, and dangerous, her fiction brings readers her unfiltered Latinx essence and a unique pulpy flavor. Her work matters. Read it. –Gabino Iglesias, author of Coyote Songs
2018 – Belinda Alvarez has returned to Texas for the wedding of her best friend Veronica. The farm is the site of the urban legend, La Reina de Las Chicharras – The Queen of The Cicadas.
In 1950s south Texas a farmworker- Milagros from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, is murdered. Her death is ignored by the town, but not the Aztec goddess of death, Mictecacíhuatl. The goddess hears the dying cries of Milagros and creates a plan for both to be physically reborn by feeding on vengeance and worship.
Belinda and the new owner of the farmhouse – Hector, find themselves immersed in the legend and realize it is part of their fate as well.
FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launched in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.
