The Voice of Blood

"It’s a shame that the late Gabriela Rábago Palafox is not nearly as well known in the U.S. as she was in her home country of Mexico. Lucky for us, this newly translated collection of some of her gothic short stories offers a striking introduction. In these stories, Rábago Palafox takes vampire lore and layers in feminism, fabulism and folklore to create a shockingly good body of work. At once alluring and gruesome, the collection is a must-read for fans of thrills, chills and bloodsuckers."
