A Cuban-Born Miami Novelist's Horror Saga Crosses Into English -- and Onto the Screen
Nov 14, 2026
Miami, Florida Nov 14, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Rosario Solares's Where the Dead Still Speak saga, begun in Spanish in 2013, arrives in English from Eclipse House -- alongside The Ninth Cycle, an animated short adapted from its first volume
Thirteen years after she first published El Gato in Spanish, novelist Rosario Solares is bringing her generational horror saga to English-language readers -- and, for the first time, to the screen.
The Veil of the Unseen: Book 1 of Where the Dead Still Speak Saga was published by Eclipse House on 3 August 2026 and is available now in hardcover, paperback and eBook. Its sequel, Whispers Beyond the Blood will be out early next year Accompanying the books is The Ninth Cycle, an animated short film adapted from the first novel by Solares herself and directed by Jordan Branch.
The novel follows Ana Tapias, a woman who has spent forty-one years sealed inside a decaying mansion. Her skin burns in sunlight. Her windows are taped shut. And her late mother left her a single instruction she has never once disobeyed: feed the cat every day or forfeit your life. When a widowed lawyer moves into the house next door and Ana finally refuses the command, the animal reveals what eight generations of Tapias women have been building toward.
Solares is a multidisciplinary artist who was born in Havana, Cuba, and has lived in Miami, Florida, for many years. Before turning to horror she spent years mastering oil painting, drawing caricatures and writing humorous articles -- work she continues to pursue. She has published more than twenty titles in Spanish, among them the El Gato saga and the Cuentos para no dormir collections.
The Ninth Cycle renders the novel's first act in high-contrast, cell-shaded 3D animation -- heavy shadow, gothic architecture, and the sulfur-yellow eyes that mark the Tapias bloodline. The film closes on a sequence that opens directly into the saga's second volume

President Prabowo Subianto’s original proposal to tighten the government’s control over the three major commodities, put forward in May, had prompted speculation that state-linked companies could gain an unfair advantage through access to commercially sensitive data...
