From the lauded author of The Queen of the Cicadas (which picked up
starred reviews from PW, Kirkus and Booklist who called her "a
dynamic and innovative voice") comes a short story collection of
nightmares, dreams, desire and visions focused on the Chicana
experience. V.Castro weaves urban legend, folklore, life experience
and heartache in this personal journey beginning in south Texas: a
bar where a devil dances the night away; a street fight in a
neighborhood that may not have been a fight after all; a vengeful
chola at the beginning of the apocalypse; mind swapping in the not
so far future; satan who falls and finds herself in a brothel in
Amsterdam; the keys to Mictlan given to a woman after she dies
during a pandemic. The collection finishes with two longer tales:
The Final Porn Star is a twist on the final girl trope and slasher,
with a creature from Mexican folklore; and Truck Stop is an erotic
horror romance with two hearts: a video store and a truck stop.
