Description
Iniguez weaves haunting tales that traverse worlds both familiar and alien in Fever Dreams of a Parasite. Paying homage to Lovecraft, Ligotti, and Langan, these cosmic horror, weird fiction, and folk-inspired stories explore tales of outsiders, killers, and tormented souls as they struggle to survive the lurking terrors of a cold and cruel universe. With symbolism and metaphor pulled from his Latino roots, Iniguez cuts deep into the political undercurrent to expose an America rarely presented in fiction. Whether it’s the desperation of poverty, the fear of deportation or the countless daily slights endured by immigrants, every story is precisely rendered, often with a twist that allows us to see the mundane with fresh eyes.
Advance Praise

“Savage, brutal, harrowing and riveting. Pedro Iniguez has created a nightmare collection of stories filled with unexpected twists, disturbing plots, unforgettable characters and ghastly settings.”—Nuzo Onoh, Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award recipient
“Rites and rituals ancient and modern ensnare even as they liberate. Iniguez’s Fever Dreams of a Parasite will infect your soul with no cure in sight.”—Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. Bram Stoker nominated editor of best-seller Never Whistle at Night
“Among a rising tide of excellent contemporary horror, Fever Dreams of a Parasite seized my attention. Watch out for Iniguez.” —Laird Barron author of Not a Speck of Light

Pedro Iniguez does a great job in this collection with the stories being told. I was engaged with each story and was enjoying the symbolism that I was expecting. It was written in a way that worked and enjoyed how Pedro Iniguez wrote this.
Adam A, Educator
This has the perfect title because many of the stories definitely have that fever dream surreal feeling to them. The stories in this collection are a series of horrific gut punches. Short but deep thematically and always interesting. A really great collection.
