Cynthia Cina Pelayo is a Bram Stoker Award winning and International Latino Book Award winning author and poet. Heavily influenced by dark fairytales, folklore, urban legends and true crime and a master of blending gothic, horror, and suspense, Pelayo"s latest is a dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty and explores what this classic tale reveals about death and the particular role of women in the fairytale. As a Chicago native, the city"s dark history often plays a major role in her work and in her latest she explores haunted Archer Avenue and the Resurrection Mary legend, one of America"s most famous vanishing hitchhikers. Her latest novel is Vanishing Daughters.  Learn more at Cinapelayo.com Intro reel, Writing Table Podcast 2024 Outro Recording Follow the Writing Table: On Twitter/X: @writingtablepc Everywhere else: @writingtablepodcast Email questions or tell us who you"d like us to invite to the Writing Table: writingtablepodcast@gmail.com.
