Award-winning author Cynthia "Cina" Pelayo's acclaimed short story collection LoterĂa, now with new bonus stories...as well as an exclusive preview for her upcoming sequel to CHILDREN OF CHICAGO, THE SHOEMAKER'S MAGICIAN (out this Spring).
The Mexican board game of LoterĂa is a game of chanceâsimilar to bingo. However, in LoterĂa instead of matching up numbers on a game board, players match up images.
There are 54 cards in the LoterĂa game, and for this short story collection you will find one unique story per card based on a Latin American myth, folklore, superstition, or beliefâwith 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 counterpartsâpassed throughout the Americas via word of mouth, collected just like the tales the Brothers Grimm. These are indeed fairy talesâLatin American fairy talesâbut with a horrifying slant.
