Waking

By Carlos Guajardo

FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO LOOK WHERE NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO SEE:

Waking is not a book. It is a broken mirror whose fragments reflect your own scars. Prepare to question your beliefs and confront your inner darkness.

Anchored in existentialism and nihilism, Waking evokes Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus but rejects even the consolation of rebellion.

Guajardo weaves a visceral narrative that pierces the skin with the precision of a scalpel, exposing organs, addictions, and lies. There are no heroes here, only antiheroes who wander among sordid bars, anonymous motels, and vanity forests carpeted with crystals. His characters are creatures of a world where morality is a disguise, and Waking does not illuminate but burns.

IS THIS BOOK FOR YOU?

YES, if you are looking for literature that is not afraid of the abyss: raw, poetic, and uncompromising.
YES, if you believe that beauty can flourish in decay.

STAY AWAY IF:
You prefer to evade rather than confront. You are offended by graphic violence, self-destructive addictions, or the moral nakedness of characters who will never apologize and you believe that endings should redeem, not shake.

WARNING:
Waking is not conventional fiction. It is a journey against the current, where meaninglessness is the only compass. Its pages smell of cheap alcohol, dried blood, and acid rain.

This is not a story about heroes. It's a shattered mirror. It will cut those who dare to hold it.
