Mestiza Blood by V. Castro

4.0

fast-paced

---

This book was extremely readable. V Castro has such a unique voice in the horror genre. This anthology blends horror, erotica, the Chicana experience, and the supernatural all together in a way that is totally new. As always with anthologies, some stories landed better than others. For me, the standouts were "Pentagram Peep Show," "Night of the Living Dead Chola," and "The Latin Queens of Mictlan," but every story had a lot to say and a unique twist. I wish this anthology was longer or that some of the stories were a little longer, but the short story length made it a very fast read. Highly recommend if you're looking for an authentic voice in the genre.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for this review.
