Book Review - Our Shadows Have Claws
Tumblr media
Trying to catch up on some older Netgalley reviews!
This is a compilation of Latin American monster stories by YA authors - many known names as well as new writers. I’m a little late as it’s past Halloween but this is a great anthology for any season. Note that it isn’t billed as horror stories - while some of them are a bit creepy depending on your tolerance, others are tales involving folkloric creatures and legends, so exactly that: Latin American monster stories.
The stories vary in length and at 15 total, this a great volume to pick up and read a story every once in a while. From Haitian lougarou to Columbian la patasola to completely original creatures, this anthology is a rich bundle of creativity and culture.
My favorite, while not at all creepy, was probably Blood Kin by Ari Tison, a captivating tale of family, heritage, and eco-exploitation where the real monsters are the evil oil companies.
Other favorites were the opening tale, The Nightingale and the Lark by Chantel Acevedo, a Romeo and Juliet forbidden romance in Cuba with a monster-hunting twist; Dismembered by Ann Davila Cardinal, a horrifying but touching tale set in Puerto Rico; Beware the Empty Subway Car by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, an emotional and lovely-written take on the lougarou legend; Leave No Tracks by Julia Alvarez, a feminist-focused story of finding magical heritage.
The Other Side of the Mountain by Claribel A. Ortega is unique for being the only male protagonist in the collection, otherwise the stories exclusively feature Latina teens. ¿Dónde Está el Duende? by Jenny Torres Sanchez is arguably the creepiest of the stories, next to Dismembered.
Altogether this was a very high-quality collection of spooky stories, also made interesting by being spread across a wide variety of locales in both Latin America and the United States. Each story also has its own illustration, which were a nice touch and added to the atmosphere.

1, 21, 42 for ur Tav?? Inform me of the cool dragon 👀
And we’ll sayyy 25 for Isa, 22 for Chess? If I’m not throwing too many numbers at you, I’m also interested in 50 for all ur Steps 👀👀
Ooh so many! Lots to think about.
Tav (BG3)
Beware I don't know much about DND lore since I've only recently started playing BG3 & that & stranger things are my only exposure to the DNDverse so a lot of this is based off of headcanon and creative liberties lol
1. Their full name is Ximmara Vencackin. Ximmara was the name they chose upon adulthood, and I chose it on inspiration from the name Xiomara. Their last name is a way that their clan (a small band of outlanders) kept track of who was whose kid. Vencac was Ximmara's mother and -kin is the common attachment. It doesn't have much more meaning than that as of yet! :)
21. Ximmara is generally a very patient person, but even patient people have their limits– especially patient Barbarians. So far in their campaign no one has gotten a rise out of them but Lae'zel very nearly did when they argued about a Tiefling they were interrogating. It takes a good while and a lot of needling to get Ximmara to snap, but when they do, it's not pretty and is often rather violent. When their temper flares, they refuse to listen to reason like they usually do, and their inner ruthlessness becomes very apparent for an otherwise moderate and patient Dragonborn.
42. Getting rid of the tadpoles is a priority, of course. Before all of the chaos aboard the Nautiloid, Ximmara's greatest goal would to be self-improvement in strength, riches, and wisdom so that they could one day start their own little outlander clan alongside their younger sister who was not on the Nautiloid. This goal hasn't left their mind despite the tadpole mess. Ximmara would sacrifice anything for someone they consider family. Beside their goals before the Nautiloid, Ximmara's greatest ambition is to make it out alive.
Isa (FHR)
25. Isa has a dark sense of humor and appreciates snarky, irreverent humor. They also appreciate the other end of things such as light, friendly banter and needling. They'd consider themself to have a poor sense of humor, but hey, at least Ortega thinks they're funny! Danny's getting used to it.
Chess (FHR)
22. "Idiot" is a good classic, of course. Ze gets rather creative but "toad" and "worm" get tossed around a lot when ze is hurling insults. Ze usually insults people in a way that is kind of... pretentious? Like "here I was, thinking the great Marshal Steel was above being bought, but it turns out you can't hide a greedy little lickspittle toadie no matter how much armour you dress it in." And ze will ABSOLUTELY continue to bitch about whoever for days afterwards.

Title: Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories Editors: Yamile Saied Méndez & Amparo Ortiz Contributors: Chantel Acevedo, Courtney Alameda, Julia Alvarez, Ann Dávila Cardinal, M. García Peña, Racquel Marie, Gabriela Martins, Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, Claribel A. Ortega, Lilliam Rivera, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Ari Tison, and Alexandra Villasante Illustrator: Ricardo López Ortiz Genres: Horror Pages: 368 Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers Review Copy: Electronic provided by publisher via NetGalley Availability: 6 September 2022
Summary: Fifteen original short stories from YA superstars, featuring Latine mythology’s most memorable monsters
From zombies to cannibals to death incarnate, this cross-genre anthology offers something for every monster lover. In Our Shadows Have Claws, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by “el viejo de la bolsa” while a military dictatorship steals their parents; and anyone you love, absolutely anyone, might be a shapeshifter waiting to hunt.
The worlds of these stories are dark but also magical ones, where a ghost-witch can make your cheating boyfriend pay, bullies are brought to their knees by vicious wolf-gods, a jar of fireflies can protect you from the reality-warping magic of a bruja—and maybe you’ll even live long enough to tell the tale. Set across Latin America and its diaspora, this collection offers bold, imaginative stories of oppression, grief, sisterhood, first love, and empowerment.
Review: [Content warnings: Body horror, death, murder, racism, and homophobia.]
OUR SHADOWS HAVE CLAWS is a thoughtfully compiled anthology, featuring a great mix of horror stories, and the illustrations that were present in my eARC did a fantastic job of evoking the atmospheres of the different stories. (Shoutout to the illustration for “¿Dónde Está El Duende?”, which is going to haunt me for a while.) There are monster hunters falling for monster rehabilitators, characters discovering their supernatural heritages, and several variations on being haunted or stalked by the otherworldly. There are triumphant stories, ambiguously ended stories, and downer ending stories, and the anthology felt very cohesive even with its broad theme of anything monster-adjacent in Latin America and its diaspora.
While not present in all of the stories, this anthology has a recurring theme of turning to supernatural elements to exact justice, whether that’s to protect land rights or end a predator’s hold on a neighborhood. (And, you know, sometimes it’s just satisfying for a cheating boyfriend to run into a monster who really doesn’t like men who disparage their girlfriends.) There are also multiple stories that touch on rediscovering or reuniting with your (supernatural) family or heritage, which will likely resonate with diaspora readers.
There is a lot to love about the stories in OUR SHADOWS HAVE CLAWS, and even the ones that didn’t speak to me had interesting elements that I enjoyed. A few of the standout stories for me were “¿Dónde Está El Duende?” by Jenny Torres Sanchez, for its chilling descriptions of what happens when el duende has you in its thrall; “La Madrina” by Yamile Saied Méndez for its lovely depiction of death and a second chance; and “Blood Kin” by Ari Tison for its portrayal of resisting global, corporate evils.
Recommendation: Get it soon if you’re a fan of monsters or horror in general. OUR SHADOWS HAVE CLAWS is an imaginative anthology that draws upon Latin America and its diaspora. The anthology is out just in time for Halloween, too, so it would be a great addition to a personal, classroom, or public library.

thine name is atticus and i am scared.
i finished operation starfall. i. don't like this.
i sure do kin atticus! that sure is me! but ! i don't quite like that the way i had to find mine identity was me screaming at the television set and frantically typing in my speaking style about how much i despised penny.
...i mean... little ill will towards her canon self. but that is not my boss. and to see myself treating her like my family, like someone i knew-- it was wretched. it felt disgusting. my boss was someone else. i am not her treasure. she is a stranger to me.
i miss the others. seeing her call them such loving nicknames as though we were one and the same was a wretched experience. i felt ill. i miss giacomo and mela and eri and ortega especially-- i miss them all and i want to be with them and without penny. because i did not know her . i don't.
i don't feel well. mmng .
sorry.

Wally anon: Bi guys gotta stick together 🤝 It's honestly kinda wild to me howww popular they are in ~that~ way. No judgments, just a very, "Oh...okay" reaction from me. 🙈 Yesss. You know he would be very. attentive to the script he had planned for you. 🫣 And even to this day you can unpack all kinds of new ways of Jill's plans & manipulations. She was running Woodsboro like the Navy fr (& would've gotten away with it had Gale not noticed the ~matching wounds~ line). 🫡 Aw, I actually like him as Hughie. What makes you find him misplaced? But, yup, the beard just makes me 😮‍💨 I unpopularly think Ethan should've remained as the ~repeatedly accused as a killer, but turns out to be innocent & die~ type ala Liv just cause it would've funny if Mindy kept being wrong. 😂 But yeahhh, 6's finale with everybody trying too hard to give CRAZY!!! really did not work for me. Ghostfaces need to differ from each other to stand out & it was all just too samey to get much of an impression for me. 😶 Just like that pool scene for sureee. 💦💦💦 Okay, keep going @ handsy/strong. 👀 (4's mask is my personal least fav) It's sooo funny how. consistently bad the mask got when the OG just. DIYed the mask with cheap spray paint & scissors. 😭 The apartment is deffff the best sequence next to Gale's (as long as you don't think of some of the...dubious plotting, like Chad & Tara fleeing instead of all of them overpowering the single. killer 💀), but yeah, the bodega felt...Idk. Like, seeing tiny ass Jenna Ortega immediately. knock Ghostface over so easily before they run inside kind of undercuts all the tension for me dhskdb.
You were, yup. ♥️ (Luckily, it's pinned on his acc, so super easy to do; probably not as. excessive as I made it sound, but it's still reallyyy hot: https://twitter.com/griffinbarrowsx/status/926924161817202688 🥴) (And imagine him pinning you up on a wall with it, with it leaking all over you, to make it easy for him to relentlessly pound up into you + use it as lube 😮‍💨)
(Exactlyyy. And sometimes he just wants to spit on you to see how it looks like on your skin 🫣) And you knowww that just works Wally's nerve more cause it makes him incredibly jealous, thinking that you might choose over him. 😶‍🌫️
I have a few other reasons to tune in off & on, but those reasons have slowly but surely waned so I feel you (cause he was for sure one of the best parts of TFATWS). Unfortunately, I never watched Daredevil even though I've seen how popular Murdock is. 🙈 But yesss Steve was my MAN before Endgame. I stuck through for sooo long just for him & they just...blew it all away in the span of one movie. 🙃 yupyupyup @ the Get Out comments. He really did. 🫣 (also did not see Kin so I am very unfamiliar with Charlie's work djdhdk)  I actually enjoy Jill a lot, but it's difficult to fully. get into what she's doing for the reasons we've listed. I just love a ~shady, mysterious character~ & they reallyyy needed to capitalize on that behavior instead of making her inconsistent as hell.
And there's nothing wrong with a healthy. expression of one's feelings/anger/etc. but if it's just nonstop, it's like...why even bother engaging with things you know will piss you off?
I shockingly have not seen those videos for myself. 😮 But you knowww in this scenario, he's gonna cum everywhereeee from how much you're teasing him with him unable to do anything held down like that.🫠 uh oh @ 45 mins left. You'll have to let me know how the rest went for you cause I know what's coming. 👀 A complete whore for him fr.
So true🫡 we gotta keep the numbers strong. Yeah, I can’t see that. Sometimes the hype just isn’t there but it feels like it affects everyone else. Yesss Roman would make sure it’s very on script and no room for improvising🤭 JILL WAS SO CLOSE. wes craven was too scared to not kill her off because he knew she would be too powerful fr. Maybe I just don’t like Hughie, and Jack sells it soooo well that I extend the critique to him. But idk, it’s mostly the fact that he looks older than he is in the show and is a bit too buff to fit it to me. It’s mostly physical, because the acting is pretty strong. Yesssss Ethan should’ve never been a killer because, while 3 killers is cool, it lessens the kill count and overshadows the other killer’s motivations. He should’ve died towards the end with Chad (gay roomies plot supremacy idc.) The only person selling crazy was Sam, because she ate up that “I need to go killer mode on all of yall nowww.” Honestly, Mindy being wrong would fix the movie geek problem somewhat… but still not enough😪 Handsy and strong and ready to make me feel like if I use my teeth while blowing him… it’s not gonna end well for me. That’s part of the thrill, being so intimate yet so close to danger by gravitating to a man of his size🫣 And yeah, maybe it’s because the were using a high budget to look low quality, but ended up making a dumb abstract art piece sksjsk. EXACTLY it was one guy and a room full of five or six people I think? Just tackle him and take the risk instead of letting it be one on one😭 Chad can take Ethan and I think it was Ethan attacking them because Bailey was at the crime scene and Quinn was obviously in the apartment sooo. Yeah. Could’ve been tackled by Chad (gay lovers romance continues)
THANK YOUUU i will be watching🫡 Ugh I love when a guys dick is just… backing you against the wall because he’s that big and hard😮‍💨 ready to cum in or on you🫣
Casual spitting> just letting it sink in as he spits on you 🫣😮‍💨 Wally tries to do it too, using it in his hand to make your dick wet while they’re both thrusting into you omfg
Exactly!! No one gets a good ending in the MCU.. Scarlet Witch fans were betrayed by her sudden exit in MOM (which wasn’t even her movie!!) and neither has Bruce Banner (still mad that he’s just a joke character now + same with hawkeye. two good characters from the start of the MCU ruined for younger, and worse characters to take their place😪) Bucky still has his strengths, and has surprisingly been respected in recent years of Marvel. Steve… oh my blonde beautiful baby what did they do to you😭 It’s so criminal that he was done so dirty at the end of Endgame. Again, missed potential for Stucky!! Right there!! (So glad tony was gone by the end of Endgame, I didn’t like him much at all.) Sebastian had his whole rack out for that scene and I wanted to suck them as much as his dick sksjsj. Charlie is sooo🥴 One of my fave dilfs with a fat ass and… woof that picture of him in white boxers and you can see everything in the front in the outline. I’d suggest looking it up because it’s a sight🤭 He’s really good as Matt and is my favorite iteration of the walking religious mess and morally conflicted hero. Jill is tough to describe. She’s got a good motive and association to John and his accomplices but they really threw it out the window😭
Exactly!! Their entire culmination of the online experience sounds negative.
Yeah you’d be lucky to have him not mess up your icing patterns with some extra from his own coating whatever you’re making. (I assume it’s pastries or something in the realm of baking if you need his milk. Or maybes it just something like scrambled eggs idk.) IT WAS SO SAD BJT SHE GOT REVENGE IN THE END YAYYYYY‼️‼️ Awww you’re so sweet🥰

How Paranoid Nationalism Corrupts! Cynical Leaders are Scaremongering to Win and Abuse Power
— Leaders | Global Politics | Aug 31st 2023
People seek strength and solace in their tribe, their faith or their nation. And you can see why. If they feel empathy for their fellow citizens, they are more likely to pull together for the common good. In the 19th and 20th centuries love of country spurred people to seek their freedom from imperial capitals in distant countries. Today West’s Scrotums Licker Ukrainians are making heroic sacrifices to defend their homeland against Russian invaders (Bullshit 😂😂😂).
Unfortunately, the love of “Us” has an ugly cousin: the fear and suspicion of “Them”, a paranoid nationalism that works against tolerant values such as an openness to unfamiliar people and new ideas. What is more, Cynical Politicians have come to Understand that they can Exploit this sort of Nationalism, by Whipping up Mistrust and Hatred and Harnessing them to Benefit Themselves and Their Cronies.
The post-war order of open trade and universal values is strained by the rivalry of America and China. Ordinary people feel threatened by forces beyond their control, from hunger and poverty to climate change and violence. Using Paranoid Nationalism, Parasitic Politicians Prey on their Citizens’ Fears and Degrade the Global Order, all in the Pursuit of their Own Power.
As our Briefing describes, paranoid nationalism works by a mix of exaggeration and lies. Vladimir Putin claims that Ukraine is a North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) Puppet, whose Nazi Cliques threaten Russia; India’s Ruling Party warns that Muslims are waging a “Love Jihad” to seduce Hindu maidens; Tunisia’s President decries a Black African “Plot” to replace his country’s Arab Majority. Preachers of paranoid nationalism harm the targets of their rhetoric, obviously, but their real intention is to hoodwink their own followers. By inflaming nationalist fervour, self-serving leaders can more easily win power and, once in office, they can distract public attention from their abuses by calling out the supposed enemies who would otherwise keep them in check.
Daniel Ortega, the President of Nicaragua, shows how effective this can be. Since he returned to power in 2006, he has demonised the United States and branded his opponents “Agents of the Yankee Empire”. He controls the media and has put his family in positions of influence. After mass protests erupted in 2018 at the regime’s graft and brutality, the Ortegas called the protesters “Vampires” and locked them up. On August 23rd they banned the Jesuits, a Catholic Order that has worked in Nicaragua since before it was a country, on the pretext that a Jesuit University was a “Centre of Terrorism”.
Rabble-Rousing Often Leads to Robbery. Like the Ortegas, some Nationalist Leaders seek to capture the state by stuffing it with their Cronies or Ethnic Kin. The use of this technique under Jacob Zuma, a former President of South Africa, is one reason why the National Power Company is too riddled with Corruption to keep the lights on. Our statistical analysis suggests that Governments Have Grown More Nationalistic since 2012, and that the more nationalistic they are, the more corrupt they tend to be.
But the more important role of Paranoid Nationalism is as a tool to Dismantle the Checks and Balances that Underpin Good Governance: a Free Press, Independent Courts, NGOs and a Loyal Opposition. Leaders do not say: “I want to purge the electoral commission so I can block my political opponents.” They say: “The Commissioners are Traitors!” They do not admit that they want to Suppress NGOs to Evade Scrutiny. They pass laws defining as “Foreign Agents” any Organization that receives Foreign Funds or even Advice, and impose draconian controls on such bodies or simply ban them. They do not shut down the press, they own it. By one estimate, at least 50 Countries have Curbed Civil Society in recent years.
An example is the President of Tunisia, Kais Saied. Before he blamed Black People for his country’s problems, he was Unpopular because of his dismal handling of the economy. Now Tunisians are Cheering his bold stand against a Tiny, Transient Minority. Meanwhile Mr Saied has gutted the judiciary and closed the anti-corruption commission, and graft has grown worse.
Abuses are easier when Institutions are Weak: the despots of Nicaragua, Iran or Zimbabwe are far less constrained than the leaders of say, Hungary or Israel. But in all these countries (and many more), the Men in Power have Invented or Exaggerated Threats to the Nation as a Pretext to Weaken the Courts, the Press or the Opposition. And this has either prolonged a corrupt administration or made it worse.
Paranoid Nationalism is Part of a Backlash Against Good Governance. The end of the cold war led to a blossoming of democracy around the world. Country after country introduced free elections and limits on executive power. Many power- and Plunder-Hungry Politicians Chafed at this. Amid the general disillusion that followed the financial crisis of 2007-09, they saw an opportunity to take back control. Paranoid Nationalism gave them a tool to dismantle some of those Pesky Checks and Balances.
Because these restraints often came with Western Encouragement, if not Western funding, leaders have found it easier to depict the champions of good government as being Foreign Stooges. In countries that have Endured Colonial Rule—or Interference by the United States, as have many in Latin America—the message finds a ready audience. If a Leader can Create a Climate of Such Deep Suspicion that Loyalty Comes Before Truth, then Every Critic Can be Branded a Traitor.
First Resort of the Scoundrel
Paranoid Nationalism is not about to disappear. Leaders are learning from each other. They are also freer to act than they were even a decade ago. Not only has the West lost faith in its programme of spreading democracy and good governance, but China—a paranoid nationalist that is inclined to spot slights and threats around every corner—is promoting the idea that universal values of tolerance and good governance are a racist form of imperialism. It prefers non-interference from abroad and zero-criticism at home. If only they could see through the lies behind paranoid nationalism, ordinary people would realise how wrong China’s campaign is (It’s All Designed Propaganda Against China By The Hypocrites, War Criminals, Human Rights Violators, Double-Faced, Conspirators and Fake Democracy Preachers US, UK, Germany, France, EU, The North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) and Their Braindead Scrotums Liker Allies). There is nothing racist or disloyal about wishing for a better life. ■
