Illuminations: A Profound Journey into the Human Psyche and the Mystical Universe
By Rosa Martha Villarreal
ALBANY, NY, February 19, 2026 -- Somos en Escrito Literary Foundation Press is proud to announce the release of Illuminations by Rosa Martha Villarreal, a collection of five powerful and thought-provoking journeys into the realms of the unknown. Set for release in 2025, Illuminations delves deep into existential themes, exploring the mysteries of love, death, and the cosmos, guided by the spirits of the greatest literary minds of our time.
Each story in this captivating volume serves as a conversation with some of the most renowned figures in literature, from Carlos Fuentes to Edgar Allan Poe. Through this extraordinary work, Villarreal continues a timeless dialogue about the human condition, blending philosophy, history, and the supernatural in ways that both challenge and inspire.
The collection features five narrative journeys:
•The Navel of the Aztec Moon: A conversation with Carlos Fuentes that explores time and memory, questioning the nature of existence itself.
•The Third One: A surreal encounter with Edgar Allan Poe and William Blake, weaving together war, suffering, and the ghosts of history.
•There Is Foul Evil in this Land: A gripping narrative that examines the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, told through the voices of Jorge Luis Borges and Edgar Allan Poe.
•Night, Death, and the Devil: A chilling reflection on human mortality and the search for meaning in the darkness of life.
•The Other Side: A tale that crosses boundaries between life and death, challenging the very fabric of reality and imagination.
Villarreal's work is a fusion of literary tradition and new exploration, engaging readers in a multi-dimensional experience that transcends ordinary storytelling. Illuminations is not just a book; it's an invitation to join a profound dialogue on what it means to be human, to be alive, and to confront the ultimate questions of existence.
