Fifteen original short stories from YA superstars featuring the monsters of Latine myths and legends.

"From zombies to cannibals to death incarnate, this cross-genre anthology drawing on Latine mythology offers something for every monster lover. In these fifteen stories, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer, children are stolen from their beds by "el Vieljo de la Bolsa" while a military dictatorship steals their parents, and anyone you love might be a shape shifter waiting to hunt. 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 jar 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, imaginative stories of oppression, grief, sisterhood, first love, and empowerment." --from publisher.
