Rivera doesn’t just tell ghost stories—he builds them from the ground up, brick by brick, until you realize you’ve been trapped inside one. The Guardian in the Corner has all the traits of a future classic: haunting visuals, a slow drip of tension, and an emotional anchor that makes the horror hit harder. The characters feel like real people with real fear. The sense of place the corners, the silence, the oppressive atmosphere feels so lived in, so authentic, that I kept looking behind me while reading. This book didn’t just scare me! it deepened my love for the genre. BookAddict, GoodReads reviewer

This book scared me—and I don’t scare easily. But what truly shocked me was the emotional weight. Rivera understands that horror is not just what hides in the dark, but what we carry within. The return to the family’s home was so tense and tragic, it felt like I was holding my breath for most of the novel. The altar scene? One of the creepiest and most brilliantly subtle horror moments I’ve ever read. Dana Van, GoodReads reviewer
