## Caption

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Bookstr is spotlighting some of the best bone-chilling historic horror novels written by Latin American authors.

If you enjoy horror books where the author draws heavily from a specific region that’s faced authoritarianism, colonization, poverty, and violence and turns it into something beautiful and terrifying at the same time, then these books are for you.
