Class and race conflict at its most hilarious. The storied Spoon of Destiny... and a little black cat who sees it all go down.
DISPOSSESSED: A Very L.A. Ghost Story by Guillermo X. Márquez is available on Amazon, or:
From the writer of the incisive true-crime/horror sensation EVIL'S EDEN: Only Murders in Los Angeles comes the highly praised supernatural comedy novel, DISPOSSESSED: A Very L.A. Ghost Story. It's the tale of a boy and a girl... and a thing long dead.
Snippet: "On a ragged lot, the grand, gray lady crouched, unsated; a predator, hungry for souls. Boundless in broken promise, the house opened wide its terrible maw and beckoned them in."
Absolute evil meets amateur home renovation in this electrifying and rollicking novel. Author Márquez deep-dives into life, love, and loathing in Los Angeles, a place of unbounded promise rooted in unmitigated evil.
DISPOSSESSED is the scariest, funniest holiday season you'll ever spend between two covers.
An irreverent coming-of-age comedy with the chills of slow-burn horror. Get ready for pumpkins, turkeys, Santas, and fiery-eyed demons! DISPOSSESSED is the perfect holiday "evergreen."

Each fragment of the vivid gemstone is cut and set so precisely that the joins almost disappear, creating a shimmering mottled crimson skin. It is a deliberate exercise in restraint, executed entirely in one medium and, unusually for an...
