Reviews
"Mónica Ojeda is fearless in her approach to both themes and style. She deals with horror and desire like few others, with a beauty so extreme that it sometimes leaves you gasping. In Jawbone, an elite Catholic school becomes the stage for nightmares fueled by obsession, creepypastas, and teenagers crazed by hormones and horror movies. But in the end, the novel is about Mónica's primary concerns: sexuality, violence, and how a story about the damaged and the lost can be told with such beauty and relentlessness. She scares me, and she amazes me, and I think she is one of the most important writers working in Spanish today." --Mariana Enriquez "Jawbone is a dark fairy tale in which a group of girls become adults on their own, taking blood oaths with cruelty, torture, and vengeance. This book summons the evil spirits that surround all adolescence, and they're made to speak straight into our ears. As chilling as it is necessary, like all of Ojeda's work." --María Fernanda Ampuero "Mónica Ojeda has at her disposal the most enviable combination I can imagine, and she has it in spades: a lucid mind, an exacting language, and a wild heart." --Andrés Barba, "M´onica Ojeda is fearless in her approach to both themes and style.

[Ojeda's] language, like adolescence itself, is unruly and excessive, full of dramatic shifts and capable of both beauty and horror." --Anderson Tepper, The New York Times "Ojeda [draws] comparisons to Shirley Jackson, H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Allen Poe." -- The A.V. Club " Jawbone depicts the process of becoming a woman as the ultimate horror story. . . . With terrifying ease, Ojeda illustrates how womanhood is characterized by dualities: fearful and feared, desired and desiring." --Morgan Graham, Chicago Review of Books "Rife with gothic body horror and the darkness of the jungle and within ourselves. . . . Ojeda is a strikingly singular voice, combining basic teen angst with stark madness and the power of teen girls to push back in a world that tries to make them powerless." --Yvonne C. Garrett, The Brooklyn Rail "Like the strange bloom of a corpse flower, the novel evokes life, death, and a vortex of twisted beauty." --Meg Nola, Foreword Reviews starred review "A wild, dirty, surreal, creepy narrative." --Gabino Iglesias, Southwest Review "Mónica Ojeda is one of the most powerful and provocative voices in Latin American literature today." --Rose Bialer, Asymptote "There's very little that will be published this year, or any year, that will surpass this devastating novel." --Ian Mond, Locus "Ojeda deals with horror and desire like few others, with a beauty so extreme that it sometimes leaves you gasping.

There are echoes of Lovecraft and Shirley Jackson at play, but the vision is ultimately Ojeda's own--delicious in how it seduces and disturbs the reader as the girls rely on horror both as entertainment and as a way of staving off the actual terrors of growing up. This is creepy good fun." --Publishers Weekly "Dark academy meets existential horror in this scintillating and unsettling novel of friendship, adolescence, and 'inquietude.' When a group of friends find an abandoned building, their most charismatic member slowly escalates their afternoons of scary stories and dares into a secret society of dangerous rituals and potentially deadly consequences. The characters are entrancing, the ideas are insightful, and the prose itself is thrilling." --Josh Cook, Porter Square Books "Mónica Ojeda is fearless in her approach to both themes and style.

The girls' ringleader, Annelise, entertains her friends with tales of a made-up deity and eggs them on with strange dares. Soon enough, she and her friend Fernanda are falling in love, raising the stakes of Annelise's fabricated creepypasta. Ojeda has drawn comparisons to Shirley Jackson, H.P.

Mother-daughter relationships slide under Ojeda's microscope, sharing space with the teacher-student dynamic and deities as objects in an exploration of power and sexuality during adolescence. . . . Every good horror story needs a victim; Ojeda's monsters and victims wear the same faces." -- Kirkus "Dark academy meets existential horror in this scintillating and unsettling novel of friendship, adolescence, and 'inquietude.'

So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of an abandoned cabin, kidnapped by one of her teachers and estranged from Annelise?When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends from Opus Dei Delta Academy for Girls convene after school, Annelise always spins the scariest stories and devises the riskiest games. Wearing her crocodile-jawbone crown, she leads them in rituals to her invented god: the rhinestone-encrusted firefly, the wandering womb, the mother pond of anacondas. Even more thrilling is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share, rooted in a dare that blurs the boundaries between affection and violence. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Obsessed with imitating her dead mother and immobilized by past traumas, each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality.In her English-language debut, Ecuadorian author Mónica Ojeda crafts an ominous, multivocal novel about adolescence, obsession, horror, and the fine line between fear and desire., Finalist for the 2022 National Book Award in Translated Literature! "Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?" Fernanda and Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers and estranged from Annelise? When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention. Even more perilous is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share, rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality. Interweaving pop culture references and horror concepts drawn from from Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, and anonymous "creepypastas," Jawbone is an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in the pure potentiality of adolescence and the fine line between desire and fear.

Ordered Mushrooms of Cascadia (2nd edition) on the 7th and they never updated tracking. Asked about the status of the book-nothing. Followed up a second time, days later, and they provided a dead hyperlink. Ordered brand new, but arrived with damaged edges. Ratings are misleading here, but everyone seems to complain about the SLOW shipping. With so much competition, go with someone else if you can. Poor communication, slow shipping.
