Introduction to Horror Writing for Young Adults

Raquel Castro is passionate about stories: listening to them, reading them, watching them on the screen... but above all, inventing them. In particular, she likes to write humor and horror, as well as cover topics related to adolescence and childhood.

Her first book, Ojos llenos de sombra, won the Gran Angular Youth Literature Award (Mexican edition) in 2012. Since then, she has written and published several novels, a book of short stories, a book of essays and, in collaboration with writer Alberto Chimal, a writing manual entitled Cómo escribir tu propia historia.
