Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories
From zombies to cannibals to star-crossed, shapeshifting lovers, this cross-genre anthology written by superstar YA authors from across the Latin American diaspora offers bold new thrills for every monster fan.
In these fifteen original short stories, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are taken from their beds by "el Viejo de la Bolsa" while a military dictator steal their parents; and anyone you love might be a monster waiting to strike. The sinister worlds of these narratives are also magical ones, where supernatural beings can be avatars for justice, vengeance, sisterhood, and empowerment.
Some monsters need to be slain; others should be embraced. So, step into the darkness. See what you find.
