The Anthill

The Anthill by Pachico is a gripping, inventive exploration of privilege, racism, and redemption set in Medellín, blending social horror with sharp satire.

Through vivid, hallucinatory storytelling, the novel examines themes of healing—both personal and collective—in the aftermath of horror.
