The Pink Agave Motel

“Castro has a powerfully sensual style, and part of the pleasure here is the union she creates between the desires for consumption, destruction, and sex… For lovers of sexy gothic horror, there’s plenty here to enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly

“Castro’s die-hard fans will find a lot to love in this long-form tale and immerse themselves in the unique Aztec mythology that runs throughout. Castro impresses with her latest.” —Booklist

“V. Castro is the modern master of magical horror. Her work reaches the deepest darkest depths of our souls where passion and terror are uneasy companions.” —S.A. Cosby bestselling author of All The Sinners Bleed and Razorblade Tears

“Like Clive Barker, V. Castro reminds us that the body is the root of desire and terror alike. In these tales, she effortlessly weaves the erotic and the horrifying into a tapestry of monsters who rend, tear, and kill, but who also caress, and kiss, and whose hearts are full of yearning, desire, and love. Are you brave enough to book a stay at The Pink Agave Motel.” —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters

“A sultry, blood-soaked meditation on feminine power.” —Rae Wilde, author of I Can Fix Her
