Privacy Details. El Dia de Los Muertos by Brian A. Hopkins. El Dia De Los Muertos (2002) A novella by Brian A. Hopkins. Afterword by Brian A. Hopkins. Cover art by John Picacio. 2002 Bram Stoker Award Winner. Locus Magazine 2002 Recommended Read. 2002 International Horror Guild Award nominee. SYNOPSIS: Just outside of Mexico City is the market Iztapalapa and a hill where every 52 years the Aztecs once performed their New Fire Ceremony. The ancient rites haven't been enacted for hundreds of years . but this year, on the Day of the Dead, archeologist Richard Bennington will awaken the old Aztec gods in an attempt to save his marriage by resurrecting the daughter he lost in an earthquake. What Bennington has forgotten, however, is that neither gods nor man can be trusted. Just how far will he go to recapture what he's lost? In this original novella, join award-winning author Brian A. Hopkins as he examines the manipulation of Fate and the preservation of all that we hold dear. Also included are several appendices touching on subjects covered in the book, and an afterword by the author. Available in two states: "Tight, crisp, and fast, with not a word wasted . the best novella to ever cross my desk. As soon as I was finished, I wanted instantly to reread it. This is one story that has stuck with me long after I was done compulsively turning the pages; a full week after finishing it, I am still in awe." — GREEN MAN REVIEW. "EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS by Brian A. Hopkins is one of those reads where once you finish the last page, you start the story again to enjoy the book on a deeper level. It is that good." — CNN.com (Read the full review.) "A small masterpiece, a novella with tremendous emotional depth, an atmospheric tale of loss and all the wrong paths to redemption. This is one of the best dark fantasies of the year, in a beautiful hardcover edition, well worth the effort of tracking down." — Tim Pratt, LOCUS Magazine. "Wow. That just about sums up my reaction to this novella. It's hard to put into words, but the effect it has on you is nothing short of tackling an emotional assault course. As for the book itself, Earthling's production values are tremendous . it'll be a hugely collectible item in years to come: trust me. EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS is, without a doubt, one of the best stories I've ever read. Very highly recommended." — Paul Kane, TERROR TALES. "A powerful, serious, and excellent piece of work." — Ed Gorman. "A searing journey into the mythic soul of Mexico and the intolerable heart of loss." — James Morrow. "One of the most intriguing, atmospheric, and compelling novellas you'll ever read." — Gary A. Braunbeck. "An unforgettable journey into the heart and past of Mexico." — Steve Rasnic Tem. "Hopkins, a master of terror, is at the top of his form with this one." — Jack McDevitt. "A powerful story, and one that won't leave you quickly, or easily." — David Niall Wilson. "An incredible, fascinating tale . Hopkins can write from his heart to his reader's soul." — Yvonne Navarro. "A great blend of the literate and mythic, the grotesque and spellbinding." — Charlee Jacob. "A rich work . it should be sampled carefully, then wolfed down." — Ed Bryant. "This is Brian's best work to date and is an award nominee for sure." — BARYON Magazine. "A superb example of the best of the small press in action . a gorgeous package." — The Chiaroscuro. "Gripping . yet another example of Brian A. Hopkins's excellent writing." — The Alien Online. "I read, with real headlong pleasure, Brian Hopkins's EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS, a fine evocation of place, character, and the Aztec mythos: a love story, a travelogue, a history lesson, a horror story, and a tragedy bundled into one compelling narrative." — Michael Bishop. "His depictions of grief and horror are so genuine you can't help but feel them yourself. That's what good writing is all about - something for the head and something for the gut. Hopkins delivers both." — Garrett Peck, CEMETERY DANCE. "EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS is a subtle, well-crafted work of power and grace, which conveys a depth of feeling rarely displayed in genre fiction. Expertly paced, it carefully builds towards the shocking pyrotechnics of its surprising climax." — Hank Wagner, HELLNOTES. "Probably the finest story Brian Hopkins has ever written. Intelligent and well-executed, it builds to a stunner of an ending. The horror of death is juxtaposed against the horrors of life in an enthralling story that also explores history, mythology, and profound differences between the cultures of Mexico and the US." — Paula Guran, CEMETERY DANCE. ". so brilliant and terrifying that I can hardly find words to describe it. If you read only one book in the year 2002, horror fans, make sure it's this one." — J.L. Comeau, Count Gore's Creature Feature. "An ambitious work, this book, both in terms of the narrative itself and the physical presentation, highlighted by a spectacular piece of jacket art." — Edward Bryant, LOCUS.

McMullen Jr.'s short story CEDO LOOKED LIKE PEOPLE in the anthology FEAR THE REAPER "This Ray Bradbury-esque is one of the most memorable and one of the more original stories I've read in a long time." - Steve Isaak, Goodreads. Earthling Publications is a newer small press, but one that sticks out from the crowd for its high production values and quality work. The book itself is gorgeous with a glossy dust jacket ( with beautiful artwork by John Picacio ) and a tightly bound cover. Notably absent are the typos and printing errors that seem to plague many of the smaller presses. EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS is the story of Richard Bennington, an American archaeologist who lived in Mexico with his wife and daughter. During the last earthquake his daughter was killed, and his marriage fell apart. However, Bennington doesn't give up. Determined to have his family reunited, he calls upon ancient rites, the Aztec New Fire Ceremony, to call up old gods and hopefully resurrect his daughter and, in turn, his marriage. Hopkin's EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS won the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction. Two author's won that year. Brian A. Hopkins tied with Thomas Ligotti's book, MY WORK IS NOT YET DONE. Both books beat out Neil Gaiman's CORALINE which was also nominated for this entry. CORALINE won the 2002 Stoker for Superior Achievement in a Work for Young Readers. The first half of the book sets the stage with Bennington recounting his relationship with his wife and the role Fate has played in their lives. It is obvious that Hopkins did his research for this book, but at times that research seems to overpower the story. Bennington's relationship with his wife was one of the most gripping parts of the story.

    Program Final (Sept 17, 2012) Where not otherwise indicated, the chair of the session is the final speaker. Session 1 - Thurs 1:30pm - 3pm Session 1 (D) Frontier 202A Disease and Subjectivity M.K. Nixon. Keep Bleeding: Hemorrhagic Sores, Trade, and the Necessity of Leaky Boundaries in Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year This paper considers the way in which nonhuman contagious disease is crucial in shaping human subjectivity. To this end, this essay probes notions of two boundaries that are both political and personal—the border between the national subject and the international other, and the boundary between the self and all that lies outside of it—in a consideration of Daniel Defoe’s 1722 text, A Journal of the Plague Year. Operating from the notion that the personal is indeed political, this essay asserts that these two borders are largely intertwined, particularly when considering infectious diseases. By way of examining attitudes towards national and personal boundaries, this paper focuses in large part on Defoe’s representation of the eponymous buboes of the bubonic plague, juxtaposing and exploring his depiction of suppurated and calcified bubonic sores as metonymic signifiers of both personal and national boundaries that are transgressed or fortified, respectively. Examination of Defoe’s illustration of bubonic sores shows that Defoe depicted the Great Plague of 1665 in ways that I assert were thoroughly influenced by his conceptualization of international trade—a conceptualization which resisted the nationalistic xenophobia typical of his day and instead embraced a type of individualistic mercantilism. Defoe’s views on economics and trade, then, influenced his understanding of the Great Plague and cycled back to result in a view of man and nation that advocates permeable boundaries even in response to the hugely threatening potential of a complete breakdown of self- and nation-constituting borders.
