Mehr Grim Talk - A Mortal Vengeance Podcast -

Some stories don't start in a writer's room. They start in a bedroom. With a bad grade, a punishment, and too much rage to keep quiet. Grim Talk is the official podcast of the Mortal Vengeance series— the Caribbean Gothic thriller books by Dominican author Alejandro Torres De la Rocha that began as a revenge fantasy written by a grounded fifteen-year-old and became an award-winning novel twenty-five years later. Go behind the books: Dominican folklore, Jesuit school memories, the slasher genre, silence as violence, and a masked figure who has been watching for five hundred years.

Ep 02 : "The Story About My Story"

Before the awards. Before the reviews. Before the Grim Cojuelo had a name. In Episode 02 of Grim Talk, Alejandro Torres De la Rocha goes all the way back — to 1999, to a bedroom stripped of every distraction, to a fifteen-year-old with too much anger and nowhere to put it except a page. The first line he wrote that year is still in the book, word for word, twenty-five years later. Twelve years of Jesuit school. A Cuban priest who reminded his students that Fidel Castro went to a Jesuit school. A rector who enforced haircut policy based on Ricky Martin. A character based on something that was never invented — only remembered. A diagnosis that explained, in adult language, what a fifteen-year-old had already put on the page without knowing what he was doing. The book knew before he did.

Episode 01 - Silence Isn't Neutral

Every debut has a story. This one starts with a Literary Titan Gold Book Award, a Dante Rossetti shortlist, and three separate reviewers — independently, without coordinating — all landing on the same two words: fresh new voice. In Episode 01 of Grim Talk, Alejandro Torres De la Rocha sits down to respond. Where the Grim Cojuelo came from and why a carnival trickster became a hunter of the guilty. What René Girard's Mimetic Theory gets wrong about Alex. Why the metaphors in the first half compete with each other. What "silence isn't neutral" actually means — and the Tuesday afternoon phone call that turned a slasher novel into something with a moral center. 🌐 mortalvengeance.com [https://www.mortalvengeance.com] 📚 Buy the books on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/stores/Alejandro-Torres-De-la-Rocha/author/B0FFTHKYPC] Keep the lights on.
