This Strange Way of Dying: Stories of Magic, Desire & the Fantastic
"This Strange Way of Dyingmixes Mexican folklore with urban life and throws in a dash of pulp flavour." -The Vancouver ProvinceSilvia Moreno-Garcia's debut collection of short fiction,This Strange Way of Dying,  combines Mexican folklore with multiple genres, including fantasy, sci-fi and magic realism. Though each story seems to be set in a different reality, common themes are woven throughout the collection, tying it into a cohesive whole that is engaging and fantastic. - Paper DroidsThese expertly-written stories transcend genre and would be appealing to readers who do not like in-your-face horror but do like weird tales as well as to readers who like depth to their horror. - HellnotesThere aren't enough short story collections that are bravely dark, and there are even fewer by women--especially women who use the richness and  deathly beauty of Mexico as inspiration and backdrop for many of their tales. -Isak"Silvia Moreno-Garcia's stories are sensitive and haunting portraits of worlds where the impossible and the real live side by side. Hers is a rare and wonderful talent."  —Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award–winning author,Osama
