Named “Cartelgram” by Pouria Khojastehpay, this photography book brings together the content of the Mexican cartels' social media.

Through a striking combination of imagery, the book reveals how narcos, including buchonas (status-driven women linked to cartel members), sicarios (hitmen), and high-ranking criminals, transformed digital platforms into powerful tools for fear, communication, and recruitment.

Set for release in September 2024, this limited edition of 700 offers a rare and chilling insight into the hidden intersections of crime and social media.

Presented in a linen-bound hardcover, with a tipped-in photo and gold foil embossed text, it is both a visual and investigative masterpiece.

Spanning 196 pages and featuring 149 images, this book is meticulously crafted in a 26 × 21 cm format, designed to immerse readers in the dark undercurrents of the online world.
