fernanda melchor hurricane season review

Right from her teen years, she found a connection with horror stories since no matter how much she hated her life at a given time, she was always in a better position than the man being chased down by a psychopath.

She had always loved horror but as she grew up, she gravitated towards true crime.

She also loved to read about monsters and especially horror fiction. While these were crappy reads, she did not have a choice until she went to college where she would read the likes of AM Homes, William Burroughs, JT Leroy, Truman Capote, Cormac McCarthy, Norman Mailer, and William Faulkner among others. Some of the authors she read during this period of her life included Taylor Caldwell, VC Andrews, Ann Rice, Harold Robbins, and John Grisham. However, she did not read classics but rather spent her time reading thriller and pseudo pornography that she got in second-hand bookstores or relatives’ shelves. It was when she was a teenager that she finally had the confidence to read novels written in English. Melchor grew up reading American literature and remembers that the first book she ever read was “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” in Spanish. She currently lives and works as a journalist and author in Puebla, Mexico. Her works have been featured in publications such as “Vanity Fair Latinoamerica,” “The Paris Review,” “GQ Latinoamerica,” “La Palabra y el Hombre,” “Vice Latinoamerica,” “Excelsior,” “Le Monde Diplomatique,” “Milenio seminal” and “Replicante” among others. Since then, she has gone on to publish nonfiction and fiction short fiction and the novels “Falsa liebre” and “Aqui no es Miami” before publishing “Hurricane Season” in 2017. As a teen, she went to the Universidad Veracruzana from where she graduated with a Journalism degree. It was a critically acclaimed novel that won several awards such as the Anna Seghers Award and the International Literature Award. Fernanda Melchor is a Mexican author and journalist best known for her debut novel “Hurricane Season” that she published in 2010.
