Monstrilio @samanito @DeadInkBooks is an absolute monster of a book, it will eat you whole and leave you wanting more. It starts as a small lump of lung and grows and grows as the baton is passed between narrators. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Monstrilio by @samanito is the story of loss & grief, told by four different people, or rather, by three humans and one monster. Though the demarcation line between humanity & monstrosity could not be thinner - hence the beauty of the book. A sensual, emotive, and evocative read.

A fantastic event last night with @samanito to celebrate his unforgettable debut novel MONSTRILIO! Gerardo was talking to host @XAldanaReyes about the book’s themes of grief, hunger and desire as well as the joys of a good chicken broth and writing in a second language!

Monstrilio by @samanito. A delightfully weird tale of grief, family and belonging. A poor little monster must bear the human expectations of parents who just want their son back, whilst fighting his animal urges. I loved Monstrilio 🥹
