Coyote Songs by Gabino Iglesias

5.0

Coyote Songs was a very devastating read... It is significant that it is not the supernatural elements, the vindictive ghosts, a monster who eats children, the Virgin that tells a Coyote to kill for justice or the soul of a mother who has died in the back of a truck while trying to make it over the border and who vows for revenge for her dead child, are not the elements of horror here; in this book the most horrifying parts are the stories of refuge, of poverty, of police violence and of racism. Very bitter, very in-your-face and a must-read. I still think about it after having finished last week.
