It Came from Del Rio

It Came from Del Rio Synopsis

â Jones crosses into the noir badlands of No Country for Old Menâ bloody and throwing sparks but cool as a killer angelâ and by sundown he owns the joint.â â Will Christopher Baer, author of Kiss Me, Judas

Smuggler Dodd Raines just got the job of a lifetime. Heâ ll finally earn enough money to secure a decent future for his young daughter and start over on the right side of the law. Thereâ s just one catch: his cargo is made up of moon rocksâ with mass-casualty levels of radiation.

Getting across the border from Mexico into the United States isnâ t easy, even though Raines has done it hundreds of times. If the blazing sun and hungry coyotes donâ t take him down, the border cop obsessed with catching him will. And then there are the moon rocks. No one delivering them is meant to surviveâ especially after already being killed.

But thatâ s the twist. One that transforms Raines into an undead rabbit-eared monster starving for vengeance, on a path straight into his orphaned daughterâ s life . . .

â A pitch-perfect noir tale of love and revenge.â â The Denver Post

â No other writer could have done this. Period. Stephen Graham Jones has built a story out of radioactive scrap metal that anyone else would have rendered as kitsch. But with Jones, the diary of a rabbit-headed zombie chupacabra shepherd is absolutely convincing and utterly moving.â â Craig Clevenger, author of Mother Howl and The Contortionistâ s Handbook
