South Texas author Mario E. Martinez. The Chickens That Are Not Her Chickens is a collection of thirteen stories--a sickening buffet of the macabre and the grotesque illustrated by Jorge Javier Lopez. This book contains tales of putrid soup, horrible small-town secrets, vicious talking guts, a changeling family, and a few stories about werewolves for good measure. These strange stories will amuse, disgust, and, especially, horrify. Read them... if you dare.

Be sure to read Mario E. Martinez's other books--San Casimiro, Texas: Short Stories, A Pig Named Orrenius & Other Strange Tales, Ashtree, NEO-Laredo, and The Glowing Pigs of El Cenizo. All of them are available at marioemartinez.squarespace.com.
