About the Author

Santiago Sánchez-Cordero is a Mexican author whose evocative storytelling draws from the rich tapestry of Latin American folklore and contemporary urban life. Born in Mexico City, he honed his craft through years of wandering the Americas, absorbing the rhythms of diverse cultures that infuse his narratives with authenticity and depth. His debut novel, Nightjar, explores themes of migration, identity, and the supernatural in a haunting tale of a young wanderer haunted by ancestral spirits amid the deserts of the American Southwest. Sánchez-Cordero's prose masterfully blends lyrical introspection with gripping suspense, earning him acclaim for illuminating the human condition in an increasingly fragmented world. When not writing, he divides his time between Mexico City and New York, where he lectures on indigenous literatures.
