However, in Lotería instead of matching up numbers on a game board, players match up images. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There are 54 cards in the Lotería game, and for this short story collection you will find one unique story per card based on a Latin American myth, folklore, superstition, or belief--with a slant towards the paranormal and horrific. In this deck of cards you will find murderers, ghosts, goblins and ghouls. This collection features creatures and monsters, vampires, werewolves and more. \u003cp\u003e Many of these legends existed long before their European counterparts--passed throughout the Americas via word of mouth, collected just like the tales the Brothers Grimm. These are indeed fairy tales--Latin American fairy tales--but with a horrifying slant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia Pelayo\u003c\/b\u003e is a Bram Stoker Award winning and International Latino Book Award winning author and poet.
