The sophomore novel from one of the most electrifying voices in contemporary crime fiction, Gabino Iglesias, Coyote Songs follows several, lost, desperate folk in the heart of the southwest.

In this mosaic horror/crime novel, ghosts and old gods guide the hands of those caught up in a violent struggle to save the soul of the American southwest.

A man tasked with shuttling children over the border believes the Virgin Mary is guiding him towards final justice. A woman offers colonizer blood to the Mother of Chaos. A boy joins corpse destroyers to seek vengeance for the death of his father.

These stories intertwine with those of a vengeful spirit and a hungry creature to paint a timely, compelling, pulpy portrait of revenge, family, and hope.

  • Coyote Songs​ is gorgeously written, even when Iglesias is describing horrible things." – Booklist
     
    "Dang...the writing here is like a Swiss Army knife opening to all its blades and widgets and then all those blades and widgets are used to cut you in different ways--killer horror-crime on display here." - Chuck Wendig, author of Wanderers

    "This is the kind of novel that crushes ignorance and forces people to open their eyes." - San Antonio Current

    "A bloody, phantasmagorical, angry, emotional, painfully topical, and beautiful blast of the hardest truth. This book wrecked me. A must read." - Paul Tremblay

    "Vivid and visceral, gritty and magical, dark and soaring—Coyote Songs pulls you in and refuses to let go. Read it." - Meg Gardiner

    "If you want to know what Gabino Iglesias accomplishes with Coyote Songs that few other novelists seem capable of, it's that he braids a story of tremendous social importance with an unputdownable plot. That's a tremendous task, and one rarely accomplished this well." - David Joy
