Human Sacrifices is a 2021 collection of twelve “tropical gothic” short stories by Ecuadorian writer María Fernanda Ampuero, translated into English by Frances Riddle.
Core Themes
• Systemic Exploitation: The stories show how marginalized working-class women, children, and immigrants pay the price for the comfort and safety of the elite.
• Violence and Patriarchy: The text explores dark realities tied to machismo, abuse, economic inequity, and colonial rot in Latin America and the U.S.
• Noteworthy Stories: “Biography” follows an undocumented female job seeker who becomes a hostage, while other entries deal with obsessed outcasts and sinister houseguests.
Genre: Feminist horror, dark fiction, short stories
