SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS
by Clara Elena García
(fka C.E. Wallace)
“What if monsters are just men made wrong?”
An age-old question brought to life through the lens of Paraguayan mythology, Seven Legendary Monsters is an epic poetry retelling of Guaraní lore.
Packed with elements of indigenous horror and haunting self-reflection, the book explores the theme of good vs. evil from the perspective of the mythical monsters still haunting the dreams and nightmares of Paraguayan society to this day.
From the cruel pranks of the feathered serpent trickster, Moñai, to the self-loathing of the hideous lizard dog, Teju Jagua, to the feminist musings of Keraná, the Mother of Monsters herself, Seven Legendary Monsters delves into the psyche of humanity to beg the question, “what if the true monsters live within us all?”
