Something Followed Us Home

“Some of the best writers working, doing their scariest stuff. This anthology will get you thinking twice about turning the lights off at night.” – Stephen Graham Jones, NYT bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
“I inhaled the anthology’s seventeen stories, which range from the uncanny, creepy, humorous, and brutal. Insightful, humane, and original, Something Followed Us Home features the most exciting voices in dark fiction today and is a must read for any weird/literary horror fan.” – Paul Tremblay, NYT bestselling author of Horror Movie and A Head Full of Ghosts
“An exhilarating anthology ripping through borders and expectations with tenacity to show what Latiné Horror is truly capable of. Its stories are teeming with lyricism, warmth, trepidation, and anger from seventeen amazing writers. One can sense Pelayo’s purposive curation as they flow through the story order with ease, encountering a horror lover’s dream of trope variety. Something Followed Us Home offers plenty for every reader—you might have to worry about what the title warns because these unforgettable stories will attach themselves to your very essence.” – Shane Hawk, coeditor of the Never Whistle at Night series
“Universally vidid and immersive, these tales are sure to leave horror fans unsettled.” – Publishers Weekly
“Beautiful, chilling, haunting, powerful. Something Followed Us Home is destined to become a timeless collection of diverse Latiné voices. This is horror literature at its finest at a time when the world needs it most.” – Pedro Iniguez, Bram Stoker Award winner and author of Fever Dreams of a Parasite
“I haven’t read an anthology this sharp and mean in years. With banger after banger, and incredible standouts from Carolina Flórez-Cerchiaro, Leopoldo Goût, and Juan Martinez, this collection is a killer.” – Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse and The Haunting of Room 904
“A man’s boyfriend is possessed by a demon, but who is the real monster in this pairing? A young woman faces a painful reminder of the wages of colonial oppression, a legacy teeming with ghosts. A man fleeing from U.S.-sponsored violence finds that he himself is a ghost of sorts, haunting his own threadbare life. From the savagely funny to the eerie and unsettling to the bloody and dark, this collection is the best of what Latiné horror can bring. I will be pressing this book into multiple hands, and I fully expect to see it on a whole lot of year-best lists. ¡Brava!” – Cynthia Gomez, author of Muñeca
