A boy explores the abandoned house of a dead fascist… A leaked sex tape pushes a woman to the brink… A sex worker discovers a dark secret among the nuns of the pampas… The mountain fog is not what it seems… Kermit the Frog dreams of murder…
In ten chilling stories from an ensemble cast of contemporary Latin American writers, including Mariana Enriquez (tr. Megan McDowell), Camila Sosa Villlada (tr. Kit Maude), Claudia Martinez (tr. by Julia Sanches and Johanna Warren) and Mónica Ojeda (tr. Sarah Booker and Noelle de la Paz), horror infiltrates the unexpected, taboo regions of the present-day psyche. One story features a murderous Kermit the Frog doll; in another, a leaked sex tape is filtered through the dizzying lens of altitude sickness. Through the Night Like a Snake showcases short stories from writers who are redefining, reinterpreting, and remixing the horror genre.
