Does contemporary Latin American horror use religion as structure rather than theme?
I’ve been reading contemporary Latin American fiction and noticed that in novels like Mandíbula by Mónica Ojeda, religion isn’t just a subject — it becomes structural. The language itself feels ritualistic, almost liturgical, shaping how characters perceive violence and identity.
I’m curious whether others see a similar pattern in recent horror or literary fiction. Are there works where belief systems don’t just frame the narrative, but actively distort ontology?
Would love recommendations or perspectives.
