Vacuum County is a novel from Inverted-A Press that touches on the ambiguous identity of hispanics whose culture predates the Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula. Set in a mythical county in the Hill Country of Texas in the early 1980s, Vacuum County tells an ancient story against a modern backdrop. Sometimes those who resist tyranny the most are those who still remember how it all started...
