I love everything she writes! About 5 years ago, reading The Dangers of Smoking in Bed sparked my interest in reading more translated horror from Latin America, leading to my discovery of other authors I enjoy like Augustina Bazterrica and Ana Paula Maia. I love love love this genre, especially the more specific niches of feminist and/queer Latine horror. Any other recs in the same vein?!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU— VIVA LATINOAMÉRICA

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my Latin American Horror list to be made into a Side Quest and thank you to everyone who has already joined it!

I am overwhelmed by all the love I’m getting from everyone and I still can’t believe that not only was my list nominated, but that enough people actually voted for it to be made into a Side Quest! I am so honored and I truly have no words.

I never thought that making a little list would get me here. I’m from Costa Rica and I wanted to spread some love not only for Latin American authors, but for my favorite genre as well. To see that other people share my sentiment is so touching and amazing.

I can’t believe how much love my Side Quest is getting— it’s making me so emotional, especially during these times when Latin American people have been getting so much hate in the U.S. and some people would love nothing more than for us to be ashamed of our heritage.

To that I say: QUÉ RICO ES SER LATINO.

Ps. If you want to see more Latin American Horror recommendations, please check out my 🔗list that inspired this Side Quest. I am planning on keeping the list alive and adding more recommendations as I find them.

Ways of Seeing

John Berger

John Berger’s Classic Text on Art Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and the most influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the (London) Sunday Times a critic commented: "This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings . . . he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures." By now he has. "Berger has the ability to cut right through the mystification of the professional art critics . . . He is a liberator of images: and once we have allowed the paintings to work on us directly, we are in a much better position to make a meaningful evaluation" —Peter Fuller, Arts Review "The influence of the series and the book . . . was enormous . . . It opened up for general attention to areas of cultural study that are now commonplace" —Geoff Dyer in Ways of Telling.

Medical Bondage: Race, Gender, and the Origins of American Gynecology

Deirdre Cooper Owens

The accomplishments of pioneering doctors such as John Peter Mettauer, James Marion Sims, and Nathan Bozeman are well documented. It is also no secret that these nineteenth-century gynecologists performed experimental caesarean sections, ovariotomies, and obstetric fistula repairs primarily on poor and powerless women. Medical Bondage breaks new ground by exploring how and why physicians denied these women their full humanity yet valued them as "medical superbodies" highly suited for medical experimentation. In Medical Bondage, Cooper Owens examines a wide range of scientific literature and less formal communications in which gynecologists created and disseminated medical fictions about their patients, such as their belief that black enslaved women could withstand pain better than white "ladies." Even as they were advancing medicine, these doctors were legitimizing, for decades to come, groundless theories related to whiteness and blackness, men and women, and the inferiority of other races or nationalities. Medical Bondage moves between southern plantations and northern urban centers to reveal how nineteenth-century American ideas about race, health, and status influenced doctor-patient relationships in sites of healing like slave cabins, medical colleges, and hospitals. It also retells the story of black enslaved women and of Irish immigrant women from the perspective of these exploited groups and thus restores for us a picture of their lives.

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1)

Jeaniene Frost

Flirting With The Grave… Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father – the one responsible for ruining her mother’s life. Then she’s captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unlikely partnership. In exchange for help finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She’s amazed she doesn’t end up as his dinner – are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn’t have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side … and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1)

Patricia Briggs

Anna never knew werewolves existed, until the night she survived a violent attack... and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she'd learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. Then Charles Cornick, the enforcer—and son—of the leader of the North American werewolves, came into her life. Charles insists that not only is Anna his mate, but she is also a rare and valued Omega wolf. And it is Anna's inner strength and calming presence that will prove invaluable as she and Charles go on the hunt in search of a rogue werewolf—a creature bound in magic so dark that it could threaten all of the pack. It is recommended you read the prequel "Alpha & Omega" before reading Cry Wolf.

Taming Demons for Beginners (The Guild Codex: Demonized, #1)

Annette Marie

Rule one: Don't look at the demon. When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me—outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. Rule two: Don't listen to the demon. My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is. Rule three: Don't talk to the demon. All I had to do was keep my nose out of it. Pretend I didn't find the summoning circle in the basement. Pretend I didn't notice the shadowy being trapped inside it. Pretend I didn't break the rules. But I did, and now it's too late.
