Gabino Iglesias: House of Bone and Rain Book Signing

I used to read exclusively horror novels, and 2022’s The Devil Takes You Home disturbed me so much that I started reading romance. Austin’s own Gabino Iglesias, the sick genius who authored that award-winning novel, is back with another nail-biter. Billed as a Latinx Stand by Me, House of Bone and Rain is a gruesome, sad, and tender coming of age story that follows a group of boys avenging the death of one of their mothers. Best-selling thriller author Meg Gardiner, another Austinite, will ask Iglesias all about it Tuesday evening starting at 7pm. – Maggie Q. Thompson
