Like the plague, I disappear and reappear when you least expect it. Here, in this corner of the web, I stack up article after article—a stash of words I’m leaving for the ages, or at least for those curious enough to find them. Why? Because one day, I want to make a living out of this madness.

Oh, you’re wondering what this is? It’s fiction. And now, it’s also something a little…different.

Born in Michoacan, Mexico, I crossed over to the United States at 19, chasing my American Dream: to become an author, despite English being my second language (read the private memoirs for the gritty details—they’re all here on the website.) Like many a poor soul tired of scrounging for pesos, I bolted to the U.S. with no plans to look back. I knew if I was staying here, I had to start doing something that mattered. And so, instead of spreading mayhem, dodging child support, and getting kicked out of bars, I chose to tap into the stories that had always haunted me.

Stories and I go way back. Maybe it’s thanks to my unhealthy obsession with Stephen King, The Twilight Zone, and any other twisted tale that keeps me on edge. Once I landed in the so-called Land of Opportunity, I immersed myself in fiction, writing tales that wriggle in horror and suspense, or what I like to call Transgressive Fiction—stories about people who are desperate enough to smash the rules society has thrown at them.

So now I’m here, writing about stories and telling my own. My work hasn’t flown off the shelves yet, but I’m still sharpening the craft while talking a little too much about myself. I’ve held jobs as varied as janitor, fast-food cashier, Uber driver (that ended after someone puked in my car), and, somehow, I still haven’t tried stripping—probably because no one would pay to see it.

Trying to spice things up, as they say, I’ve started something new on this website. Besides my fiction, you’ll find reviews with a twist: raw, unfiltered takes on classic books and hidden gems. I’ll cover their origins, their oddities, and, of course, their controversy. Think of it as a peek behind the story, with a touch of irony, a slice of the absurd, and a nod to the things most people politely ignore. But that’s not it. Along with the reviews, I want to share with you what I like to think of as ‘unconventional writing advice,’ aka articles that will make you question why you want to be a writer in the first place; at least, that’s what I ask myself all the time.

So if you’re into tales that you’d hide from your mother, book reviews that won’t bore you to death, or writing advice you probably don’t want to hear, welcome. You’re in the right place.

P.S. I’m just an email away. Got thoughts? Throw them my way: gabriellucaterowriter@gmail.com
