Editor of the Latinx Archive Speculative Trilogy: Latinx Rising, Speculative Fiction for Dreamers, and Not Your Papi's Utopia. Associate Professor of Chicana/o Studies at UNM. Active agent in the Speculative Detective Agency.
Xicanxfuturism is a new and fierce codex that editors Scott Duncan and Jenny Irizary have expertly painted with art, theory, and narrative. It's a lucha libre with migrant futurisms, Chicanx Manifestos, and gritty esperanzas on the mat as they face off against colonialism, racism, and capitalism.

In Amber Sparks' "The Case of the Girl Who Was Already Dead" a living dead agent should be out hunting the cryptid known as the Bray Road Beast, but then a young girl, the daughter of a dead father and living mother, asks for some help with her ghosts.This story has a very Wisconsin Death Trip feel!

Many years ago Richie and I had a meeting with an artist and the artist was kind of rude and the project didn't work out. It happens. But then Richie suggested we create our own performance of the Alien Space Queen de Puerto Rico.
