Isabel Canas built a strong short fiction portfolio before publishing her first novel. Stories like The Weight of a Thousand Needles and My Sister Is a Scorpion draw on Mexican folklore and history, much like her longer work.
The nine stories span from 2019 to 2022 and cover a range of dark themes. Titles like There Are No Monsters on Rancho Buenavista and A Land of Saints and Monsters give a sense of the territory Canas explores in her shorter fiction.
