  • The Nightmare Box and Other Stories Book Club

    The Nightmare Box and Other Stories Book Club
    Jul 5 2024
    The Nightmare Box and Other Stories is Cynthia Gómez's debut collection. It is a magic-soaked love letter to Oakland, brimming with feminist rage. Its twelve stories center ordinary people—Latine, queer, working class-as they wield supernatural powers against oppression, loneliness, and dread. A young queer man finds love at a magical clothing shop—and the courage to stand up to the homophobic cops. A witch who makes custom nightmares wonders why all her victims are connected to the Black Panthers—and who she's really working for. A soon-to-be father encounters a mysterious hitchhiker who tries pulling him back to the days of his violent past. A brand-new vampire, freshly hired at the blood bank, delights in her heightened sexual desire and superhuman strength.

    It's a book club episode! Carmen and Cristina had the pleasure to chat with Cynthia Gomez about her new book, the Nightmare Box and other stories, but a little bit of Stephen King, Sweet Valley High, ruining childhood favorites and more topics also come up.
