Overall I really enjoyed this one! The variety in the stories was much greater than I expected. While they were all "monster" stories, they were not all about monsters. There was romance, family, sexuality, adventure, colonization and more explored. Some stories were from the perspective of the monster which I loved as well. The variety of the Latin American countries/cultures represented was great as well. Perfect read for this time of the year. At the beginning of each story there is also a B/W illustration that connects to the monster which were fun to look at and try to get what the story would be about (I was almost always wrong).

This was a great anthology. Each short story explores different things that go bump in a night from different parts of Latin America and the Latin American diaspora. 

Some of the stories are creepy. Some are spooky. Some are chillingly sweet. Some are down right skin crawlingly scary. Each authors voice is unique. Each story fascinating. Like all good horror, they tell stories that examine society and thrill you at the same time. 

Well worth a read
