About
From award-winning Mexican author Ricardo Chávez Castañeda and the visionary Mexican designer Alejandro Magallanes comes a horror story and ghost story that is both daringly and beautifully told in word and image.
There are stories so terrible that we tremble to hear even a whisper of them. Even more terrible, some of them are true.
This is one such story, a story of our deepest inhumanity, one that confronts the history of violence against children, and through its young narrator attempts to find a way out. A horror story and ghost story told as much through art as through text, “The Book of Denial” is an antidote to our collective silence. By uplifting storytelling as a means of understanding the past and shaping the future, it is also, improbably, a beacon of hope.
Written by genre-defying Mexican author Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, “The Book of Denial” is a dark and powerful story within a story, illustrated with a striking graphic sensibility by Alejandro Magallanes and translated by Lawrence Schimel.
