Castro does not pull any punches.”—Booklist starred review“Castro’s expert storytelling upends classic horror tropes to make 'The Queen of the Cicadas' an exhilarating and frightening literary ride.”—Los Angeles Review of Books“A deliciously sinister story”—Harper's Bazaar“A truly original and surprising work of fiction...
