A beautifully written short story of what it's like to be Latinx in a world filled with zombies, ghosts, and monsters.

It was interesting and I really liked the ending. In the first half or so, the world-building felt labored and unclear, and the story started to drag, but then it suddenly picked up and became much more organic and vibrant and exciting.
I'd definitely read more set in this world or from this author, but this one didn't quite stand out from all the other great Tor.com shorts I've been read.

Well, that was weird. I needed more story. The world seems interesting but I was missing the details which you can't really get in 30 pages of story. I would like to read a longer work set in this world.

A really interesting concept and good writing, but not as fleshed-out as it could have been. It felt almost like I was reading excerpts from a novel-length piece.

Another Tor.com short story
I love the way this story said it was one thing, became another, and then returned to the original premise in a better way.

Really liked this one - didn't expect the twist at the end, but thought it worked really well.
