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. 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.
