In \u003ci\u003eOur Shadows Have Claws\u003c\/i\u003e, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by \"el viejo de la bolsa\" while a military dictatorship steals their parents; and anyone you love, absolutely \u003ci\u003eanyone\u003c\/i\u003e, might be a shapeshifter waiting to hunt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The worlds of these stories are dark but also magical ones, where a ghost-witch can make your cheating boyfriend pay, bullies are brought to their knees by vicious wolf-gods, a jar of fireflies can protect you from the reality-warping magic of a bruja--and maybe you'll even live long enough to tell the tale. Set across Latin America and its diaspora, this collection offers bold, imaginative stories of oppression, grief, sisterhood, first love, and empowerment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Full contributor list: Chantel Acevedo, Courtney Alameda, Julia Alvarez, Ann Dávila Cardinal, M.
