Criaturita
Told through the eyes of a girl who clings to self-deception as her only lifeline, Criaturita fearlessly moves between rural thriller, family drama, coming-of-age novel, and the fantastic.
Kaila lives with her mother in Aguas Claras, one of the picturesque towns that surround Lake Milagro. Since the death of her father—a biologist obsessed with the creature that local legend claims lurks beneath the water—Kaila has been trapped in a grief with no way out. She doesn’t sleep, she doesn’t eat, and she wakes drenched in the lake’s freshwater. When several women go missing, Kaila joins the search, determined to prove her father was right. Whatever lies beneath the surface, she’s certain it’s behind the disappearances.
