Every time I need a book for podcast research, I check my library and they had one out of two I was looking for! Placed a hold.

We got rid of a bunch of streaming services and started going to our local video rental store once a week. It’s been so fun seeing what the kids pick out! Today one chose Goosebumps: Attack of the Jack-O’-Lanterns and the other chose the Smurfs: the Legend of Smurfy Hollow

I’ve been trying to watch more Mexican horror, well Latine horror as a whole, and why did I not know about Belzebuth before? This was a wild watch. Joaquin Cosío was phenomenal

The child chose Monster Night from Scarecrow video and WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR?? This was strange and bad lol

Need someone to watch this so I can yap about with said someone

Have you heard the legend of las Casas de Las Canicas in Coahuila, Mexico?

I've been reading Defectors for my history podcast's book club and for the first time ever, have been using these sticky notes to annotate

2025 is THE year for Latina horror books and I'm loving it

We are donating 20% of patreon funds (for Espooky Tales & our other podcast Historias Unknown) to a different organization every month. This month, it's Al Otro Lado's water drop program. An initiative aimed at saving lives by providing water, seasonal clothing, food & first aid at the border

Speculative fiction is great because it let's you change how something happened and one of my absolute favorites stories of all time is @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social the Nightmare Box & Other Stories.

All the stories were a 5/5 for me, but especially Red Brick with all the increasing deportations.

We run a Latine Horror Book Club too! We read horror, written by Latine authors at a super slow pace,then we release 2 hour long episodes talking about each book! YOU can keep up with book club discussion, announcements on Substack.

We are SO CLOSE TO 100 subscribers!

Anybody else watching Happiness on Netflix? I just finished ep 2, as always, South Korean Zombies never disappoint

What’s a single frame from a film that could hang in an art gallery?

Not a movie but those early seasons of the Walking Dead had top notch scenery

YESSS, I was looking for a podcast about From season 1 and of course @girlthatsscary.bsky.social just released an episode 🙌🏼

Finally started From, just finished ep 1. I'm hooked!

Has she read anything in the Rick Riordan presents books? There's some fun ones there! There's so many too

Why yes, we do have a Latinx horror book club where we spend almost 2 hours talking about the books we read!

books we've read for the book club:
Gods of Jade and Shadow
The Hacienda
The Haunting of Alejandra
Silver Nitrate
Vampires of El Norte
The Nightmare Box
Piñata

Not us recording an almost 2 hour long episode about our fav Zombie media and forgetting the unique indigenous Zombie flick, Blood Quantum 😭
