Skiffy and Fanty Show review by Trish Matson. "The Jaguar Mask, by Michael J. DeLuca, is a challenging book, but well worth the effort. It’s overwhelming at times, with bright colors, loud music, crowds, personality clashes, and uncertain soul searches by people who don’t know where they’re going or what they’re supposed to be doing. I started out reading this book in small bites, taking time for digestion, but by the end, I was eating it up eagerly, hungry for the meanings that were emerging and the inspirations I could take from it."

Tired of being gaslit about climate horrors? This weekend in Waterloo we're bringing our spookiest, weirdest, and saddest books and exclusive horror merch to DreadCon!
