10 Ways to Die In New Mexico

DOMESTIC NOIR with a side of GREEN CHILE! In a place where earthquakes and bright lights herald in tragedies & miracles, it all begins with a solitary corpse in a fuchsia minidress, and her worldly possessions - a sterling cross bearing the tarnished body of Jesus, a lottery ticket, and a bag bearing three poisonous pills - all point to the forces that influence the inhabitants of the LAND of ENCHANTMENT! Connecting all the stars in this intricate story are nefarious forces, familial bonds, obligations, addiction, and religious obsession, and the men just can't stop bossing their women around. And they'll pay for it. 100% HUMAN SOURCED, CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS, MATURE AUDIENCES 10 WAYS TO DIE IN NEW MEXICO is a disturbing exploration of human foibles and the effects of religious fundamentalism. It chronicles the journey of a husband and wife experiencing the same patriarchal tension mirrored in the most horrific tragedies caused by a cultish religious patriarchy, and all of this occurs in the beautiful but brutal state of New Mexico. Through true Southern Gothic style, Wilder spares nothing in depicting the psychological manipulation that exists within a man's fundamentalist mindset. Reading the book might be traumatic enough, but the real crime is that those very same events happen in real life every single day in America.
