“Manibo is that rare writer who can put a reader out among the stars but keep the focus on human trauma and scandal. . . . Scintillating.” —Meg Elison, winner of the Hugo, Locus, and Philip K. Dick Awards
“A high-stakes sci-fi mystery—Foundation if it were written by Agatha Christie—Escape Velocity is an energetic and unforgettable page-turner.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity
“Searing social commentary, expert worldbuilding, and unforgettable characters . . . Victor Manibo remains one of the most exciting new voices working in fiction today.” —Rob Hart, author The Warehouse

Haunted by a tragic loss, one man spirals into a dark web of violence, grief, and obsession, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs.
“rekt goes past the 'dark web' and into online corners that pose a threat to life and sanity. Oddly enough, it also makes me want to visit these corners. A great exploration of the dangers and seductions of the internet.” —Poppy Z. Brite, author of Exquisite Corpse
“rekt is a nihilistic annihilation of the senses, a David Fincher-directed Faces of Death for the digital age, a novocaine 120 Gigabytes of Sodom by a debut de Sade that leaves the reader uncomfortably numb. This book takes just as much from you as you take from it. Alex Gonzalez left me utterly gutted.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
“Alex Gonzalez fearlessly plumbs the depths of our present and future online hell and the result is a visionary book that is at once pensive, rollicking, and truly, bone-deep unsettling. rekt is an absolute stunner.” —Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts
Happy pub day to rekt by Alex Gonzalez!! 💀😱📚This is one of the most brutal and emotionally raw books I've ever worked on. This changed me, and it'll change you too. Mind the ⚠️ but the #horror journey is worth it. #auntieeditor

“If you want more Howl vibes in your life, complete with absolutely beautiful prose, a true Ghibli cat, a sentient house, and a heroine caught between her no-nonsense nature and the insistent tug of love that may or may not be unnatural, you’ll want A HARVEST OF HEARTS.” —Laini Taylor, internationally bestselling author of Strange the Dreamer
“If you are looking for a dark fantasy with a perfectly ordinary heroine amidst terrible beauty and magic akin to Beauty and the Beast, this book is where you'll find it.” —Emilie Nikota (Delemhach), bestselling author of The House Witch series
