ATACAMA is my horror/thriller/science fiction novel publishing May 2025 via Sley House Publishing. I previously wrote about the book deal news here on my blog. Now, I have jacket text for the description:

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.

Review Blurb:

“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
