Description
From the acclaimed author of *Killer Cicadas* (which received star reviews from PW, Kirkus, and Booklist, and was called “a dynamic and innovative voice”), comes a collection of stories about nightmares, dreams, desires, and visions centered on Chicana experience. V.Castro weaves urban legend, folklore, life experience, and heartbreak into this personal journey beginning in southern Texas: a bar where the devil dances all night; a street fight in a neighborhood that might not have been a fight at all; a vengeful chola at the start of the apocalypse; thoughts turned into reality in the near future; Satan falling and ending up in a brothel in Amsterdam; keys to Mictlan gifted to a woman after her death during a pandemic. The collection concludes with two longer stories: *Last Star of Porn* — a twist on a girl’s final style and a slasher with roots in Mexican folklore; and *Truck Stop* — an erotic horror romance about two hearts: a video store and a truck stop.
