From award-winning author Ann Dávila Cardinal comes an edgy, genre-bending thriller following one aging ex-punk rocker who begins to hear the murders of women she knew in her youth.

One woman. A string of unsolved murders. Only she can hear the victims.

Elena Altieri never wanted to be famous, and certainly not at sixty-six years old. For over forty years she’s been hiding from her New York City punk rock youth in the hills of Vermont, but now, the past is catching up with her in more ways than one. Not only is she losing her hearing, but the photographs she took of a recently deceased musician are going viral. Suddenly, she finds herself summoned back to the city for an exhibit celebrating her work and thrust into a world she’d hoped to keep locked away forever. A world where her best friend, Sin, is dead.

At the exhibit, Elena hears the screams of a woman ringing among the hum of her tinnitus, and she’s sure something horrible has occurred. But since no one else can hear them, she convinces herself it’s just her damaged ears playing tricks. She tries to put the event behind her, but when the auditory visions continue whenever she touches something of Sin’s, she becomes convinced she’s hearing her friend’s murder. Desperate for answers, she has no choice but dig into the past, and what she’ll uncover will not only force her to reckon with her own fractured memories, but might prove that Sin, and other innocent women from their youth, were the victims of an unspeakable crime that only she can solve. Old punks never die, and Elena’s going to prove that.

Edgy, mysterious, and full of heart, Hear the Dead is at once an inventive and biting story following one aging woman desperate to solve crimes from her past, and a thought-provoking meditation on friendship, justice, and what it means to remember who we are.

Fans of You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight and Your Lonely Nights Are Over will love this thrilling YA horror about a string of disappearances and “accidental” drownings in the Hamptons, the changing relationship between two best friends, and their desperate attempt to not be the next victims of a Lovecraftian monster terrorizing the coastline. 

All Gabi wants is to spend the summer in his room, surrounded by his Funkos and books, but with his mom traveling, his bags are packed for the last place he wants to visit—the Hamptons.
Staying with his best friend should have him willing to peek out of his cave, but ever since Ruth’s nouveau riche family moved, their friendship has been off. Surrounded by mansions, country clubs, and Ruth’s new boyfriend Frost Thurston—the axis that Hampton society orbits around—it doesn’t take long for Gabi to feel completely out of place.

But when he witnesses a woman being pulled under the ocean water, and no one—not the police or anyone else in the Hamptons—seems to care, Gabi starts to wonder if maybe the beachside town’s bad vibes are more real than he thought.

As the “accidental” deaths and drownings begin to climb, Gabi knows he’ll need proof to convince Ruth they’re all in danger. And while the Thurston family name keeps rising to the top, along with every fresh body, what’s worst is that all the signs point to something lurking beneath the water—something with tentacles and a hunger for blood. Can Gabi figure out how the two are intertwined and put end to the string of deaths…before becoming the water’s next victim?

After the hurricane, some see destruction and some smell blood.

Category Five is a new supernatural thriller from Ann Dávila Cardinal, set against the backdrop of a post-hurricane Puerto Rico.

The tiny island of Vieques, located just off the northeastern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico, is trying to recover after hurricane Maria, but the already battered island is now half empty. To make matters worse, as on the main island, developers have come in to buy up the land at a fraction of its worth, taking advantage of the island when it is down. Lupe, Javier, and Marisol are back to investigate a series of murders that follow in the wake of a hurricane and in the shadow of a new supernatural threat.

In this thrilling, supernatural murder mystery, monsters only come when they’re called.

A self-described Gringa-Rican from Vermont, Lupe Dávila has her summer thrown off-course when she’s shipped off to Puerto Rico for the entire break. But upon arrival, she discovers that her uncle is investigating a series of grisly murders sweeping the island and it’s Lupe who sees the signs of something more than human. Javier Utierre is one of five friends from a deteriorating neighborhood in Puerto Rico who seem to be marked for death on the eve of their eighteenth birthdays. If Lupe and Javier can survive each other’s company, together they can solve the mystery of who is behind the murders before Javier’s own birthday arrives. But if they want to catch the killer, they’ll have to step into the shadows to see what’s lurking there—murderer, or monster?
