(Previously published as Frankenstorm) A storm of epic proportions is brewing off the coast of northern California. Residents have been warned to prepare for disaster. It's a false hope in the face of what's coming… In a secret government lab, virologist Fara McManus tries to stop an experiment out of control—before more human subjects are infected. But in a blazing hail of bullets, survivalist Ollie Monk launches a paramilitary attack on the lab, releasing the infected into the night. And as the nightmare escalates to a fever pitch, internet blogger Ivan Renner traces the destruction as it claims more victims, beginning with a single mother unknowingly spreading the virus. A father and son, held hostage by a lunatic. A local sheriff, single-handedly fighting madness, murder, and worse. No one will find shelter from this storm. "Remember when paperback originals were cool? Sex, action, suspense? Try FRANKENSTORM. It's old school." – Stephen King

The fierce intelligence and insistent moral and spiritual engagement of Lopez-Colome's poetry situate her among the most significant contemporary Mexican poets.
