Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s short story collections span a decade of speculative fiction. This Strange Way of Dying (2011) was her first published book and established her voice with supernatural stories rooted in Mexican culture and folklore. Love and Other Poisons (2014) continued with dark fantasy and horror. Dreamlands (2021) engages with Lovecraftian mythology while recentering the stories away from the genre’s traditionally Western, colonial perspective.
The collections trace Moreno-Garcia’s growth as a writer and provide a concentrated look at the themes and settings she returns to across her longer work. Readers who already enjoy her novels will find the short stories worth tracking down.
