{"product_id":"monstruos-bajo-la-lluvia-9789930581339","title":"Monsters Under the Rain","description":"\"Most of the stories in Larissa Rú's \u003ci\u003eMonsters Under the Rain\u003c\/i\u003e address terror in its many forms: from an approach to the genre from a more realistic perspective such as \"El soplón,\" where we can see a monstrous transformation of the social or a horrorization of the familiar, to \"La cabeza verde\" and \"Cuencas (los ojos de Saturno),\" where we are part of a supernatural phenomenon personified in monstrous entities that seem to propose chilling solutions to the protagonists' problems. In addition, people who delve into this book will find rewritings of some fairy tales, such is the case of \"El cuarto de los conejos,\" \"Los cerdos de la mansión Akerman\" and \"Sílfide,\" where the author uses the realm of fantasy to show the cruelty of family or romantic relationships.\u003cbr\u003eThe book closes with the story \"Vanidades,\" which explores \u003ci\u003ecreepypasta\u003c\/i\u003e horror, and can also be read as an allegory of the horizon of expectations that society imposes on women's bodies. In summary, this book allows the Costa Rican public to access literature made in our territory that is related to what authors such as Mariana Enríquez or Giovanna Rivero are producing in the field of Latin American speculative fiction.\" (LUCÍA LEANDRO HERNÁNDEZ) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLARISSA RÚ (San José, 1998)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer work \u003ci\u003eCómo sobrevivir a una tormenta extranjera\u003c\/i\u003e (2020) won the Aquileo J.
