Mestiza Blood

Exploring the Chicana experience, this short story collection delves into themes of nightmares, dreams, desire, and urban folklore. Set against the backdrop of south Texas, the narratives feature a devil dancing in a bar, a street fight with uncertain origins, and a vengeful chola amid an apocalyptic scenario. The stories blend personal experiences with elements of horror and fantasy, culminating in two longer tales that reimagine classic tropes. V. Castro's innovative storytelling weaves together cultural elements and emotional depth.
