About Us

The House Of The Fighting Chupacabras Press® is “A Very, Very Independent Press” whose mission includes “Promoting Literacy Through Poetry®” and the art of Poetry, Prose, History, and  Education Research Writing among other things related to writing and reading. This also includes its support for “Write For Texas” and the “National Writing Project” and similar programs promoting writing and literacy in and out of classrooms.
 
The House Of The Fighting Chupacabras Press® was an idea conceived informally around 2006 by Texas Poet Juan Manuel Pérez that has finally come to fruition in this website and what it offers: books, information, and encouragement and such.
 
The House Of The Fighting Chupacabras Press® actually serves two main obvious and general purposes: (1) to promote the books produced by this press and (2) to serve as an official website for the largely unconventional poet from South Texas, Juan Manuel Pérez.
 
The House Of The Fighting Chupacabras Press® does have a GOD FEARING bent to it even though most of the work published is fictional, even scary and downright horrific. If it bothers you then GOD BLESS YOU and fair travels. May OUR Creator be your guide and not your religion. Yes, those are two different things.
 
 IN GOD WE TRUST
