I'm Aisha Rascoe and this is the Sunday story.
It's Labor Day weekend.
Where did this summer go?
It has just zoomed by, but it's not too late for one last summer.
Read.
Now, as I've said before, I love horror.
And as I've also said before, I can't get enough of it.
I recently read a novel that fed my love for horror stories.
So indulge me in an episode about a really good horror thriller book.
It's set in Puerto Rico, and it's about a group of close male friends who are dancing with death.
The novel is House of Bone and rain.
It's the latest book by the Brahms Stoker Award winner Gabino Iglesias.
The story is built around a murderous mother of one man in the group of friends is killed.
Afterward, the friends decide to plot revenge.
And what I really loved about the book is that it explores how the connections that we make, the brotherhood, the sisterhood, the friendships, they can be a force for good, but at times they can play on our worst impulses.
And it really explores how seeking vengeance can sometimes eat away at us in ways that we never even imagined.
Today on the Sunday story, a conversation with author Gabino Iglesias.
