Love these Latin folk tale stories. I asked my mom about the Puerto Rico monsters & she did say she had beard about them so it's crazy to hear the stories!

Please ignore the bad reviews by palm colored people saying they can't "relate" to this book
One of the best anthology's I have ever read. Fantastic diverse read, everything from myths and legends to folklore I thoroughly enjoyed this. There is queer representation, colorism discussion, anything you could want. (Colonialism, Racism, Pollution)I love the illustrations at the start of each chapter, they really help you get in the right vibe for each section. Some of the stories made me laugh, others made me glad I read this with the lights on! Several stories ended very cathartically, the men got what they had coming to them and it was amazing.
A must read!
The cover is colorful and dynamic, and perfectly encapsulates this book.

This was a great anthology. Each short story explores different things that go bump in a night from different parts of Latin America and the Latin American diaspora.
Some of the stories are creepy. Some are spooky. Some are chillingly sweet. Some are down right skin crawlingly scary. Each authors voice is unique. Each story fascinating. Like all good horror, they tell stories that examine society and thrill you at the same time.
Well worth a read
