Stray Dogs

Paid assassins and students, influencers and housewives, goddesses and prostitutes: 13 short stories with heroines determined to fight before they become victims. The Stray Bitches are strong women, who solve their problems on their own, because they know that they cannot count on the help of any god. At most, they entrust themselves to the devil, since they prefer to shed other people's blood than to be used, abused, or killed. And, very importantly, they do not hesitate to laugh at themselves even in the most terrible moments, when Dalia de la Cerda's caustic irony and merciless black humor make us wonder how it is possible to laugh after what we read two paragraphs above.

Social criticism and black comedy combined, Stray Dogs is the dazzling debut of one of Mexico's most exciting female voices.

"This book is like a torrent, sweeping, dirtying, and cleansing in equal parts."
