In this mosaic horror/crime novel, ghosts and old gods guide the hands of those caught up in a violent struggle to save the soul of the American southwest.
A man tasked with shuttling children over the border believes the Virgin Mary is guiding him towards final justice. A woman offers colonizer blood to the Mother of Chaos. A boy joins corpse destroyers to seek vengeance for the death of his father.
These stories intertwine with those of a vengeful spirit and a hungry creature to paint a timely, compelling, pulpy portrait of revenge, family, and hope.

“Coyote Songs is gorgeously written, even when Iglesias is describing horrible things." – Booklist
"Dang...the writing here is like a Swiss Army knife opening to all its blades and widgets and then all those blades and widgets are used to cut you in different ways--killer horror-crime on display here." - Chuck Wendig, author of Wanderers
"This is the kind of novel that crushes ignorance and forces people to open their eyes." - San Antonio Current
"A bloody, phantasmagorical, angry, emotional, painfully topical, and beautiful blast of the hardest truth. This book wrecked me. A must read." - Paul Tremblay
"Vivid and visceral, gritty and magical, dark and soaring—Coyote Songs pulls you in and refuses to let go. Read it." - Meg Gardiner
"If you want to know what Gabino Iglesias accomplishes with Coyote Songs that few other novelists seem capable of, it's that he braids a story of tremendous social importance with an unputdownable plot. That's a tremendous task, and one rarely accomplished this well." - David Joy
