What I Did Like:
+In every anthology, there’s one or two that stand out. In this collection, it’s Blood Stained Hands Like Yours and Sugary Deaths. They’re unique, emotional, and beautiful. They’re definitely new favorites!
+The different monsters are fascinating. Some have interesting back stories, some are familiar, some are entirely new. I enjoyed learning about them all!
+The art work and cover are very well done. They match the mood of the collection!
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of monster stories, for sure.
-Remember the old Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark collections? If you were a fan of those, I’d recommend these. Similar in style but inspired by Latin American monsters, these deliver quick scares.
My Rating: 3 Stars

Beautifully edited anthology. Most of the stories got a five star from me, none less than four. Well written latine flavored imaginative collection of cuentos (or not?).
Graphic: Gore
Moderate: Blood, Bullying, and Xenophobia

A deliciously monstrous collection of short stories focusing on latine and latine american lives and featuring latine monsters.
The main theme across the 15 shorts is this idea of the misunderstood or complex monsters, and I looove this trend among the monsters of Latin America.
Some are better than others for sure but they're all strong and contain their satisfying climaxes and characters. My favorite of the bunch has to be between Dismembered and The Boy From Hell but I had a great time with these tales.

Fifteen new stories with spectacular artwork that should be told around the campfire or at a sleepover from a Latin perspective. These are not your grandmother’s ghost stories, because they are all brand new…but when an abuela speaks you’d better heed their advice because you don’t know what is coming until it is ready to grab you with its claws.
