El Viejo de la Bolsa - One of the most useful classes I ever took in university was the special topics course on Dictatorships in the Cono Sur, I swear. This takes place in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1977, and the protagonist's parents have been disappeared. This one is really powerful, with perhaps a surprising ending. 5 stars.

Leave No Tracks - Interesting bit of Dominican folklore. Maybe it's just the smoke from the summer's wildfires, but I got a bit misty-eyed toward the end of this one. 5 stars

Sugary Deaths - I suspect the author may have been a fan of the Gargoyles cartoon. A good girl power story. 5 stars

La Boca del Lobo - Just alright. I think what I liked best was how much I had to dredge up my Spanish vocabulary. 2.5 stars
