5.0
This collection of short stories is perfect for anyone who wants to spend a weekend lost in great stories but not have to worry about making a commitment to longer tales. They're short, impactful, and amazing. Of course, I had ones I preferred over others since that is the nature of these types of collections but I would still reread them all when the urge struck.

"Porque la sangre derramada nos va a salvar a todos."
Latinx Screams really carried me through the week. I enjoyed this collection of latinx horror stories so much. Each story was unique and showcased each author's creative imagination. Some left me wanting me more because they were so captivating and I could see them as longer pieces in the future. Overall this anthology was solid and I know I will be rereading it often.
The collection explored some key themes which really made each story rich with the Latinx flavor. Many of the pieces explored family and sacrifice. Religion, friendship, death, the human nature of evil and clash of culture were other key themes. Each author brought a unique style of atmospheric writing that captured my attention. I loved the references to mythology and folklore.
My favorite story was Sangre Desmarrada by Hector Acosta about immigrant workers in a chicken processing plant that was raided by ICE. I also loved Galán by Richie Narvaez about a robot and a family dealing with culture clash and assimilation. It gave me creepy Jetsons vibes. Imperial Slaughterhouse by A.E. Santana was another standout that gave me goosebumps. Behind the Mountains by E. Reyes took me back to my childhood and gave Pet Sematary energy. I would love to see Come, Play become a bigger piece because it left me craving more.
If horror isn't you're usual genre, this one would be perfect for you. It has a little bit of everything there is to love about Latinx storytelling. I am definitely hoping for another collection of stories in the future. I am looking forward to reading more work from the talented authors and editors of this collection.
