When you step onto ancient ground, proceed with respect. The forests, the rivers, the mountains... everything that seems asleep is still watching you.
Cursed Creatures: South America brings together eight horror stories drawn from the depths of South American mythology. From the Mapinguari of the Brazilian rainforests to the Ao Ao of the Paraguayan savannas, from the Yacuruna that devours rivers to the Yaguareté-abá that haunts the jungle nights, each creature embodies the broken pacts between the living and the spirits of ancestral lands.
Through the lands of the Amazon, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Venezuela, these tales weave literary fiction with oral traditions to reveal what lives in the silences. Some creatures have survived the spoken word. Others live within forgotten spaces. And sometimes, at night, they answer those who have forgotten their names.
Each story is accompanied by a rigorously documented dossier revealing the authentic origins of each creature in legend.
A collection for readers seeking immersive and piercing chills, where the fantastic takes root in myths.
Read, if you dare. But don't say you weren't warned.
