Descriere Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories - Yamile Saied Méndez

This bloodcurdling anthology soars.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review \n In these fifteen short stories, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by el Viejo de la Bolsa while a military dictator steals their parents; and anyone you love might be a shapeshifter waiting to strike. The dark worlds of these narratives are also magical ones, where a ghost-witch can make your cheating boyfriend pay, bullies are brought to their knees by vicious wolf-gods, a car of fireflies can protect you from the reality-warping magic of a bruja--and maybe you'll even live long enough to tell the tale. \n \n Set across Latin America and its diaspora, this collection offers bold, beautifully written original stories by YA's premier Latine authors, exploring themes of oppression, grief, sisterhood, identity, first love, and empowerment. \n \n Full contributor list: Chantel Acevedo, Courtney Alameda, Julia Alvarez, Ann Dávila Cardinal, M. García Peña, Racquel Marie, Gabriela Martins, Yamile Saied Méndez, Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, Claribel A. Ortega, Amparo Ortiz, Lilliam Rivera, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Ari Tison, and Alexandra Villasante. \n \n\n
