Our Story: Ghost Books Biz & Red Rabbit Press

 
 
 

In 1989, Antonio R. Garcez and his husband, Hank Estrada, embarked on a mission to bring real, first-hand ghost stories from across the Southwest to readers with an interest in the supernatural. Together, they founded Red Rabbit Press LLC, aka Ghostbooks.biz—a New Mexico-based independent publishing company. For more than 30 years, Antonio and Hank traveled through haunted landscapes, interviewing people who had experienced the supernatural firsthand, and investigating these inexplicable encounters. With a deep reverence for the spirits they encountered, they turned these interview accounts into a series of twenty chilling yet deeply spiritual books, including two volumes featuring New Mexico.  Antonio’s final book—Unforgettable Ghost Story Interviewswas published post-mortem by Hank. This culminating book of the series is an exceptional collection of the best of and never-before-published interviews by Antonio.

 About

 

Award-Winning Author of the Unforgettable Ghost Story Interviews Series

Antonio R. Garcez (1954–2023) was an award-winning author best known for his Ghost Books series. His dedication to sharing compelling accounts of real, first-hand ghost encounters stemmed from a deep reverence for the supernatural instilled early on by his parents, both of whom were Indigenous healers.

 

Antonio's sensitivity to spirits and the paranormal was observed and nurtured by his parents and grandparents, who taught him to honor and respect the unseen, shaping his unique approach to storytelling.

​

Antonio’s work gained national attention and has been featured on programs like America’s Scariest Places and Haunted on the History Channel. Over the course of 30 years, Antonio and Hank investigated countless paranormal encounters throughout the American Southwest via interviews, photography, and spending time in haunted spaces in an effort to connect with and understand the spirits that linger there.

​

Beyond writing, Antonio was a beloved human being, artist, and storyteller. His life was filled with music, nature, and meaningful connections with others. Though he passed away peacefully in 2023 from Parkinson’s-related complications, Antonio's spirit and legacy continue to inspire and captivate those who explore his stories.
