The Mexican board game of Lotería is a game of chance—similar to bingo. However, in Lotería instead of matching up numbers on a game board, players match up images. There are 54 cards in the Lotería game, and for this short story collection you will find one unique story per card based on a Latin American myth, folklore, superstition, or belief—with a slant towards the paranormal and horrific. In this deck of cards you will find murderers, ghosts, goblins and ghouls. This collection features creatures and monsters, vampires, werewolves and more.Many of these legends existed long before their European counterparts—passed throughout the Americas via word of mouth, collected just like the tales the Brothers Grimm. These are indeed fairy tales—Latin American fairy tales—but with a horrifying slant.

Sumérgete en las espeluznantes profundidades del terror latino con Lo que nos siguió a casa, editada por la ganadora del Premio Bram Stoker Cynthia Pelayo. Una antología revolucionaria en la que participan Agustina Bazterrica, Isabel Cañas, Mariana Enríquez, Zoraida Córdova y más, donde cada historia viste la inmigración, la colonización, la fe y el folklore, de miedos que heredamos y que nos acompañan a través de las fronteras y las generaciones.Lo que nos siguió a casa, editada por la ganadora del Premio Bram Stoker Cynthia Pelayo, es una antología revolucionaria del terror latino que abre una puerta imaginaria al mundo ancestral del miedo y los fantasmas culturales. La colección incluye el trabajo de aclamados escritores, como Agustina Bazterrica, Isabel Cañas, Mariana Enríquez, Zoraida Córdova, Gerardo Sámano Córdova, la propia Pelayo, y muchos más; cada uno de ellos reinventando el horror a través de las lentes de la colonización, la inmigración, la fe y el folklore que perdura a lo largo de las generaciones. Las historias que recoge van desde hogares argentinos donde los muertos susurran tras puertas cerradas con llave, a desiertos en los que La Huesera reconstruye sus huesos bajo un sol implacable, a aguas caribeñas en las que cruceros placenteros se tornan predatorios, y ciudades en las que el amor y el hambre demoníaca comparten cuerpo. Ya sean plegarias susurradas contra demonios, visiones de rebeldes ahorcados que regresan en forma de sombras, o el terrorífico hecho de que la propia tierra recuerda la sangre, cada pieza es un testimonio de la resiliencia y el horror asentado en la identidad latina. Lo que nos siguió a casa, es una antología de referencia para el terror latino. Estas historias nos recuerdan que el pasado nunca nos abandona, los muertos nunca guardan silencio, y los lugares de los que venimos siempre hallarán el camino de vuelta a nosotros.Dive into the chilling depths of Latiné horror with Something Followed Us Home, edited by Bram Stoker Award–winner Cynthia Pelayo, a groundbreaking anthology where each story reimagines immigration, colonization, faith, and folklore as the fears we inherit and carry across borders and generations. Something followed us home. It crawled in with our prayers, slipped into our beds, watched from mirrors, waited in water, and learned our names. In these stories, horror does not announce itself. It possesses, feeds, whispers, and waits. Gathering chilling work from some of today’s most acclaimed Latiné voices, this anthology moves through haunted households, brutal landscapes, sacred spaces turned dangerous, and bodies claimed by forces both ancient and intimate. The dead murmur behind locked doors. Bones rebuild themselves under merciless suns. Love becomes a doorway for demonic hunger. Prayers summon answers that arrive too late…or too fully. Blood, devotion, and memory intertwine as the past presses back with teeth. Something Followed Us Home is a landmark anthology of Latiné horror. These stories remind us that the past is never gone, the dead are never silent, and the places we come from will always find their way back to us. Featuring stories by: Agustina Bazterrica, Ann Dávila Cardinal, Cynthia Pelayo, Isabel Cañas, Gerardo Sámano Córdova, Zoraida Córdova, Mariana Enríquez, Carolina Flórez-Cerchiaro, Ananda Lima, Xochitl Gonzalez, Leopoldo Goût, Juan Martinez, Mónica Ojeda, Daniel Jóse Older, Lilliam Rivera, Alex Segura, Diana Rodriguez Wallach
