What's ATACAMA About?
ATACAMA is my horror/thriller/science fiction novel publishing May 2025 via Sley House Publishing.
A missing research team is found dead in the Atacama Desert under mysterious circumstances. Far away in East Tennessee, Appalachian researcher Fiona Hawthorne reels from the death of her best friend, Alva, among the Atacama team. When Fiona's university professor Dr. Bingham is visited by members of a shadowy corporation, she begins to suspect not everything is as it seems. Enlisting her intense coworker Lafe Lambert, the two dig deep looking for answers around Alva's death...too deep. Fiona soon realizes that she not only faces sinister corporate agents, but also a monster hiding in plain sight.
Praise for ATACAMA
"A pulse-pounding SF/Thriller hybrid that feels like a modern day episode of The X-Files."
—Hugo Award-winning Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together
"Jendia Gammon's Atacama masterfully weaves a gripping sci-fi mystery that blurs the line between reality and nightmare. With lyrical prose, Gammon builds an atmosphere thick with tension and dread as she takes you on a heart-pounding race for answers. What begins as a twisted mystery quickly spirals into a cosmic nightmare, unearthing surreal horrors lurking beneath the surface that will haunt you long after the final page. A mind-bending exploration of grief, love, and the unknown, Atacama is as unnerving as it is hopeful, and left me clawing for more as it pulled me deeper into its eerie world."
—Mallory Pearson, author of Voice Like a Hyacinth and We Ate the Dark
“Jendia Gammon weaves lush description with ratcheting tension to deliver a story that is both chilling and compelling. Atacama is a book that will stay with the reader long after the last page.”
—Helen Glynn Jones, Author of The Last Raven
"Gripping and fast paced, Jendia Gammon's ATACAMA blends the horror elements of THE THING with the nightmarish complexity of Stephen King's THE OUTSIDER. Sharp prose, flawed characters, and a complex plot will appeal to horror and thriller readers alike. Highly recommended!"
—D.K. Stone, author of the Edge of Wild trilogy, and Inescapable: A Ghost Story
“ATACAMA is a devious blend of mystery and horror set against the unforgiving background of a remote and brutal desert. Chockful of relatable characters and unexpected twists. Jendia Gammon brings real game to this cross-genre thriller!”
—Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of NecroTek and the Joe ledger Thrillers
"Gammon's ATACAMA is a fast paced thriller that showcases her strengths of strong heroines and divine prose. Whether transporting us to a lab full of chaos or the dry flats of the desert, when Gammon turns to the stars and the mysteries of the universe, that is when she shines and I'm in love."
—Rowan Hill, author of Foxfire and No Fair Maidens From Earth to Mars
I think you're going to enjoy this mysterious book!
Ad astra,
Jendia
