Lanternfish Press is thrilled to announce the acquisition of the first short story collection by M.M. Olivas, Sangronas And Other Things With Teeth, for publication in Spring-Summer 2027.

Vampires, space explorers, and brujería intertwine in a series of tales about queer identity, family bonds, and ancient hungers that lurk in the shadows, waiting to sink their teeth into you. Sangronas And Other Things With Teeth includes the titular novelette, ¡Sangronas! Un Lista de Terror, which was an Ignyte Awards finalist this year.
