Las voladoras

Creatures that climb to the rooftops and take flight, a teenage girl with a passion for blood, a teacher who collects the head of a neighbor in her garden, a girl unable to separate herself from her father's teeth, two noisy twins at a festival of experimental music, women who jump from the top of a mountain, apocalyptic earthquakes, a shaman who writes a spell to revive his daughter. Las voladoras brings together eight stories that are located in cities, towns, moors, volcanoes where violence and mysticism, the earthly and the heavenly, belong to the same ritual and poetic plane. Mónica Ojeda blows our minds with an Andean gothic and shows us, once again, that horror and beauty belong to the same family.
