A review by bzzlarabzz
The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories by Horacio Quiroga

3.5

 Quiroga's writing has a mythical or fairytale-like cadence that is sometimes soothing and sometimes somnolent. These stories are in no way calming, though. Disturbing events and occurrences pile up along with the bodies of those who suffer from the mishaps in these tales. After reading this, I would be afraid to live in Misiones or along the Paranà.
