Horacio Castellanos Moya is the author of eight novels, three of which have been translated into English. A native of El Salvador, he currently lives in Pittsburgh.
"Dance With Snakes is harrowing and violent, a deliberate and
relentless effort to shock the reader. And, you will be shocked.
There is something in here for everyone, to the extent that all
boundaries are crossed and morals broken into insignificant pieces.
Yet it is the ease with which Moya shows this happening that is the
novel's greatest strength."—Damian Kelleher
"A romping, violent farce"—Ron Slate
"Dance with Snakes is the more “pulse-pounding” of the two novels,
for sure, but both offer up incredible characterizations and Moya’s
takes on the political situation in Latin America, with plenty of
barbs directed at religion and the police. Hopefully we will see
more of his fiction translated in the coming years."—Rain Taxi
"The raw yet aloof descriptions of brutality throughout the novel
keep the reader fully engaged."—The Uniter
