Catrina's Caravan is a horror anthology series featuring stories by the best Latinx writers of horror as told by Catrina, a suspicious harbinger of darkness on the run from a violent priest. Leading a caravan of misfits and marginalized folks, Catrina goes from town to town, one step ahead of her rival, giving the local residents gruesome lessons they will never forget through the mechanism of immersive storytelling. The frame of each story reveals a little more about the past and twisted mission of this mysterious, gaunt and seemingly unaging figure. In three harrowing tales by Latine authors, we peer into the dark corners of the modern world and witness a horrifying, winged retribution for those who abuse refugees at the border. We join an overwhelmed mother on a Chicago subway just in time to see her lucha-libre-obsessed child be tempted by a demon, and we watch as an ancient yet beautiful predator in southern Mexico sates her hunger with the flesh of crude tourists. While crafted in the tradition of great horror anthology comics, this spine-tingling new series taps into the particular darkness of Latino cultures, drawing forth a rich fount of horror with textures and nuance that will reward readers in the know and make fans of those who don't.
