Book Review: Alphaland by Cristina Jurado, translated by James Womack

The minute you dive into Alphaland, you’re transported to a surreal world swirling with mystery, terror, and the inexplicable. Dead fathers come back to haunt their tortured daughters; prostitutes turn out to be horrifying, human-devouring alien intelligences; spaceships function as nurturing mothers. Basically, when Cristina Jurado is telling you a story, you should really listen.
