The Queen of the Cicadas by V. Castro | a ghostly revenge story

On this week’s Tuesday episode, Yajaira and Cheli delve deeper into spooky books but with this one they discuss the harsh realities of physical labor mixed with the supernatural. They plunge into the gripping tale of Milagros, a Hispanic farm worker. Her life, marked by grim conditions and relentless harassment, ends tragically, and her death is brushed under the rug. As the besties dissect the chilling sequence of events leading to her demise and the subsequent ghostly retribution, they unmask the brutal injustices that she, and many like her, endure.

Wrapping up the episode, we delve into our collective thoughts on "Queen of the Cicadas," by V. Castro, a poignant tale that was honestly pretty heartbreaking. Unpacking the relentless revenge of Milagros, we further reflect on the story's end, Milagros' motives, and our personal lives (there’s a lot of singing in this one lol)
