Bernardo Esquinca was born in Guadalajara in 1972, and is the author of several novels and story collections. His short story 'Senor Ligotti' was nominated for the prestigious Shirley Jackson Award in 2021, and his novel Toda la sangre was made into a television series by the production company Lionsgate+.

"These stories are fully cognizant of Horror’s past, but they also provide clear signposts for Horror’s possible future. Very deft, smart stories that manage to do in ten pages what most novels struggle to accomplish in thirty times that. Esquinca is a writer to watch." Brian Evenson, award-winning author of Song for the Unraveling of the World"From short, punchy, Twilight Zone-ish stories to longer, far more insidious dances with horror and madness, Esquinca weaves reality with illusion deftly in The Secret Life of Insects, an excellent collection. Recommended!" Elizabeth Engstrom, author of When Darkness Loves Us and Black Ambrosia“Bernardo Esquinca’s haunting, original stories spin out implications like spider silk: light, strong…and very dangerous.” Michael Cisco, author of The Divinity Student‘Bernardo Esquinca is a writer who knows that fear is another form of desire. Of the desire for the dark, the desire for the mysterious, and the desire for life in death. His writing grabs you and takes you by the hand through obsessions where what is beautiful and monstrous in humanity dwells. Read him: you’re going to be terrified and amazed at the same time.’ Mónica Ojeda, author of Jawbone‘Bernardo Esquinca traces the veil between the natural and supernatural, and with a doctor’s precision, he slits that perimeter in order to reach through and drag back something completely outside the realm of our own comprehension. The fourteen tales within this breathtaking collection don’t come from our world, but beyond it. The Secret Life of Insects firmly establishes Esquinca as a rising dark star of horror.’ – Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters“This is a new favorite collection with some singular stories that stand out as some ofthe best short fiction I’ve read.” Sadie Hartmann, author of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You’re Murdered“The tales in The Secret Life of Insects are fresh, spicy, literary, provocative, often chilling, sometimes shocking, but always with a clever, well-thought-out point that provides a lasting resonance. The exquisitely detailed illustrations by Luis Perez Ochando are the cherry on top. Don't miss it.” Rue da Morgue“The Secret Life of Insects stands as an entertaining and technically accomplished introduction to an essential new voice in the worldwide weird.” Southwest Review
