Human Sacrifices by María Fernanda Ampuero

4.5

First up, CW for graphic violence and sexual violence towards women and children. This is a very powerful collection of short stories, unflinchingly brutal, and horror in the realest sense.  The stories play with the supernatural to varying degrees but the true horror is the actions of people, mostly men, towards the marginalised. Reminiscent of Mariana Enriquez.
