From Here You Can Almost See the End of the Desert is a limited-edition print run that contains three short stories excerpted from Morales’s debut novel, Drowning Tucson. In "Flashflood" an abused housewife takes her child with her in a tragic and desperate drive. In "Easter Sunday" a young boy tries to impress his father the only way he knows. "Real Man Stuff" tells the story of a young man risking and saving his life in a desert crossing, the day after a grisly murder.

Morales seduces then abducts and we are carried away by the torrents of his endless sentences until we come up for air, gasping and astonished.  - Helena María Viramontes

This is subversive and sly work, as knowing in its effect as it is exciting to read. For all its thrilling nature, and for all his hard-edge style, this is a deeply moral effort.  -  Luis Alberto Urrea
