This Strange Way of Dying by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Spanning a variety of genres fantasy, science fiction, horror and time periods, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's exceptional debut collection features short stories infused with Mexican folklore yet firmly rooted in a reality that transforms as the fantastic erodes the rational. This speculative fiction compilation, lyrical and tender, quirky and cutting, weaves the fantastic and the horrific alongside the touchingly human. Perplexing and absorbing, the stories lift the veil of reality to expose the realms of what lies beyond with creatures that shed their skin and roam the night, vampires in Mexico City that struggle with disenchantment, an apocalypse with giant penguins, legends of magic scorpions, and tales of a ceiba tree surrounded by human skulls.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia's stories are sensitive and haunting portraits of worlds where the impossible and the real live side by sideHers is a rare and wonderful talent." —Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award–winning author, Osama
