Description
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.
