FICTION | APOCALYPSE PARTY | NEW ARRIVALS

People are holes waiting to be filled. People are sharp, nervous blades dancing across skin and bone.  People are hungry, desperate, empty maws waiting to be fed. ​

Juan Valencia's Poking Holes is a collection of nine tales seeking to explore that emptiness, that volatile monstrosity and dangerous hunger that prevails through our encounters and self-destructions.  Across bodies, across borders, across species, holes, gashes, and mouths open, letting fear and anger flow free. ​

Juan Valencia was born and raised in Mexicali, Baja California, México, and currently resides in the border region of Southern California.  Alongside being a writer, he is the host of the YouTube channel, Plagued by Visions, dedicated to analyzing transgressive and disturbing media.  Juan also has an immense passion for cultural preservation and community advocacy and dedicates his time to uplifting native voices and culture in his home region.
