This sort story collection was delightful for lovers of myths and sci-fi alike. My favorite story was “¡Cuidado! ¡Que Viene El Coco!” by Carlos Hernandez, page 173. I also loved T. Kingfisher's spin on Hercules, just as I love everything she writes.

Graphic: Cannibalism
Moderate: Racism, Stalking, Forced institutionalization, Gore, Panic attacks/disorders, Cursing, Sexual harassment, Toxic relationship, Mental illness, Antisemitism, Confinement, Body horror, Grief, Sexual assault, Death of parent, Drug abuse, Religious bigotry, Self harm, Animal death, Death, Drug use, Sexual content, Classism, Animal cruelty, Blood, and Murder
Minor: Islamophobia
The themes explored in the stories are often heavy and/or challenging. The bigotry in the stories is always textual, not a reflection of toxic biases in the authors. Some of the stories are much more graphic than others. The two stories I mentioned in my review are some of the safest and certainly the most comforting if you want to avoid anything scary/ graphic/ upsetting.mcpl's review
