PRAISE FOR WE ARE THE ONES POSSESSED

"We Are the Ones Possessed is a vivid, heart breaking, and tragic collection of poems that drips from the pages with the viscosity of blood. Cepeda is a Latinx talent you should be reading as a horror and poetry fan. I highly recommend this beautiful book that reaches out and grabs you by the heart and throat. I adored Night Stalker Tattoo on Her Back."

- V. Castro, author of Mestiza Blood, Goddess of Filth & The Queen of the Cicadas

"With nods to various icons of art, music, and literature, these pieces are so beautiful and stunning. Gilded in twilight and darkness, We Are the Ones Possessed is a collection of poetry that guides us along fragments of moments, with the tortured and the torturer. Scenes in dark rooms, across environments and situations pulsate with bloody ecstasy, attraction, and betrayal. We Are the Ones Possessed shows us not only what we''ve had done to us, but what we have done."

- Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award nominated author and poet

"Cepeda''s haunting poems, inspired by existing written work and visuals, are a medley of daydreams & nightmares, floating in the middle of a fateful dance of death and sex. The winged beauty in the shadows of love/revenge painted by his exceptional verse in We Are the Ones Possessed will take your breath away."
