In the town Henry Ford abandoned in the Amazon, the rubber tappers are back. Dead.

Synopsis
GringoZ is a horror novel set in Fordlândia, the ghost town Henry Ford built in the Amazon and never managed to tame. Diana arrives with her father and brother looking for a fresh start. A chain of events cuts the town off from the world, and undead rubber tappers emerge from the forest to tap the trees and, in the end, attack the residents.
Horror that laughs at itself while saying something serious about the Amazon, colonialism and the failures we never properly bury.
