General Note
54 short stories based on the cards of the Mexican board game of Loteŕia.
Description
"Macabre Latin American fairy tales come to life in Loteria -- 54 short stories for each of the loteria cards! The Mexican board game of Lotería is a game of chance. It is similar to our American bingo. However, in Loteria 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 or poem 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 and werewolves and many of these legends existed in the Americas long before their European counterparts. Many of these stories have been passed over time throughout the Americas, and many have been passed via word of mouth, just like the tales the Brothers Grimm collected. These are indeed fairy tales, but with a much more terrible little slant"--Back cover.
