AN INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARD MEDALIST NOMINATED FOR THE
ANTHONY AWARD FOR "BEST ANTHOLOGY OR COLLECTION" *Alex Segura's
story "90 Miles" has been selected to be included in the 2021
edition of THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE* and is a 2021
Anthony Award winner for Best Short Story A collection of original
and riveting stories that tackle one of the most important and
controversial issues of time: The Border. La frontera is full of
stories. Real stories, not the ones you see in the news. The border
is a powerful place where countries collide. It's a weird space of
dreams, struggles, promises, lies, fear, and redemption. It's a
multicultural and bilingual space where people know that hustling
to protect your loved ones or offer them a better life is a drive
strong enough to blur ethical codes. Sadly, the border is also a
place where drugs make people a lot of money, corruption stains
everything, and violence fills the landscape with danger and
ghosts. Now, some of today's most talented authors will visit this
space from their perspective-showing the world what they see on
both sides. In a landmark anthology, acclaimed author Gabino
Iglesias presents 15 stories from an incredibly talented and
diverse roster of authors that look at all aspects of border
crime-immigration, law, trafficking (both human and narcotics), and
everyone trying to exploit the divide for their own benefit.
Thought-provoking, shocking, violent, raw, emotional, and
unforgettable, BOTH SIDES will make you rethink everything you
thought you knew about borders, both domestic and international.
Featuring stories by: Isaac Kirkman, Shannon Kirk, Alex Segura, Rob
Hart, Nicolas Obregon, J. Todd Scott, Christopher David Rosales,
Daniel A. Olivas, Cynthia Pelayo, Johnny Shaw, Rios de la Luz,

He has a mouth in his gut. An obnoxious, toothy, foul-mouthed,
pig of a mouth. Luckily, his girlfriend doesn't seem to mind.
Marie, the one-legged stripper and cyber-prostitute love of his
life is very accepting of it. And then a little too accepting. What
would you do if your girlfriend cheated on you with the voracious
yapper under your belly button? If you live in Gutmouth's world-a
bleak city where gruesome, spontaneous mutations are no big deal,
klepto-roaches take anything not tied-down, drugs turn pain into
pleasure, consumers are tortured for growing food, and your best
friend is a misogynistic rat-man-you might do something crazy. And
what if you got caught?
Father. Husband. Hitman. He lost it all - he'll kill to get it
back. Perfect read for fans of Breaking Bad and Stephen King.
