The Sacred Animal

Vladimir Vil­lar­real is an ar­chi­tect and writer (Mon­ter­rey, Mex­ico, 1977). He doesn't limit him­self to a par­tic­u­lar genre in his writ­ing, as he reads a wide va­ri­ety of gen­res and says he writes what he him­self would like to find in a book.

In 2013, he pub­lished his first book of short sto­ries, "La Zom­bie y el Conejo" (The Zom­bie and the Rab­bit).

In 2019, he re­leased his first novel, "Per­reador."

In 2020, he pub­lished a short book of po­lit­i­cal es­says, "El Sitio Prop­i­cio" (The Pro­pi­tious Place), which con­tains three es­says on civic ed­u­ca­tion and democ­racy in Mex­ico.

In 2021, he re­turned with a man­ual for edit­ing ebooks for in­de­pen­dent au­thors, ti­tled "eBook in­fal­li­ble" (In­fal­li­ble eBook).

He co­or­di­nates the "Colec­ción Re­latos Suel­tos" (Loose Sto­ries Col­lec­tion) at 38 Min­u­tos Edi­ciones, a pub­li­ca­tion that of­fers a taste of the work of sev­eral in­de­pen­dent Span­ish-speak­ing short story writ­ers from dif­fer­ent coun­tries.

Cur­rently he's work­ing on the trans­la­tion of her col­lec­tion of sto­ries into dif­fer­ent lan­guages, in­cluded in her book "The Zom­bie and the Rab­bit" and in other an­tholo­gies; for the Eng­lish lan­guage you can find them in the col­lec­tion "Fan­tas­tic Imag­i­na­tion Ma­chine."
