On June 14th Pedro Iniguez became the first Mexican-American to win the Bram Stoker Award! Mexicans on the Moon received the award for Superior Achievement in Poetry! Space Cowboy Books congratulates Pedro on this incredible feat and is deeply honored to have had the opportunity to publish this powerful collection of speculative poetry!
Weaving science-fiction, Mexican folklore, and magical realism, this 50-poem collection explores the wonders and pitfalls of humanity in a future yet to come. Experience a faraway world where sapient flora sing melodic tunes; behold orbit-plunging taco trucks as they make planetfall; observe as El Cucuy becomes a stowaway on a space shuttle; witness a neurologically-enhanced lobster become President of the United States; bear the agonizing wave of shrink-ray-gun violence plaguing public schools. All these sights and more await in Mexicans on the Moon: Speculative Poetry from a Possible Future!
