He’s been hunted for over a century. But this time, he might finally have something to lose.
Ricardo Cuaron is a man with no past and too many names. Drifting from town to town, he hides a monstrous truth — one whispered in Spanish across generations, blamed for dead goats, drained cattle, and vanished children.
They call it El Chupacabra.
Ricardo calls it the curse.
Now he’s Samuel Martinez, slinging brisket at Carl’s Barbecue in dusty Glen, Kansas: a town too small for secrets and too kind for monsters. He’s keeping his head down. Making friends. Falling in love with Maria, the whip-smart cashier who might just be the first person to see past the fangs. But monsters aren’t made for peace, and Glen is about to bleed.
A violent robbery turns Carl’s into a warzone. Maria is taken. The curse awakens, and Ricardo is forced to confront not just the beast inside him, but the man who’s spent decades hunting him: Morales — relentless, cunning, and convinced that killing Ricardo is the only way to end the nightmare.
And that’s before the Wendigo arrives.
Fast, brutal, and darkly human, Cupacabra Outlaw is a supernatural thriller where folklore walks, blood flows, and monsters wear many faces. With a cast that includes a blue-haired waitress, a guilt-soaked hunter, and an ancient predator stalking the margins of myth and memory, this isn’t just a story about what’s inside the dark.
It’s about what happens when you stare it down and it stares back.
A modern horror-noir in the spirit of The Strain, The Outsider, and Hellboy — soaked in Americana, regret, and the longing for a life you’re not sure you deserve.
