V. Castro!!!!! Queer latin horror maestro after my own heart!!!!!!!! I got to read this book exactly when I needed it, and it is a dark, beautiful, haunting little thing about not letting go of yourself even when you do sometimes need to let go of some pieces.

I made a playlist for Hispanic Heritage Month.

All bands and artists featured are goth, deathrock, darkwave, or adjacent genres from Spain and Latin America, or otherwise prominently feature members of Hispanic backgrounds.

I've long since held the opinion that without the LatAm and Spanish scenes doing most of the heavy lifting, goth as a subculture probably would not have lived past the mid-2000s, and I feel like those scenes deserve more recognition.

Surreal/dreamcore/horror artists are always putting eyes in or on random shit, sometimes mouths as well, but never noses or ears. Heck, many monsters in analog horror, creepypastas, and similar genres often have neither, aside from a pair of slit nostrils. Can't a nose or ear be as disturbing as the other parts of the face? We gaze into the darkness expecting it to gaze back or attempt to consume us, yet never consider that a predator often detects its prey first via scent or sound.

"At first glance, the term 'Tropical Gothic' sounds a lot like an oxymoron, since in popular understanding the genre is often synonymous with its early settings of bleak European wildernesses battered by howling winds and tumultuous storms. In contrast, Tropical Gothic heroes and heroines have vacated traditional eerie castles and chilling wind-swept moors to take up residence in haunted plantation houses, overgrown bayous, mysterious jungles and exuberant tropical cities, where the horrific and the uncanny not only lurk in the shadows but occupy open, sun-drenched spaces alongside humans."

— Anita Lundberg, Katarzyna Ancuta & Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska, "Tropical Gothic: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences."
