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.


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.
