Written in a single paragraph with unsparing prose, Hurricane Season unfolds the brutal, violence-laden exploration of toxic masculinity, of poverty, sexual terror and grave effects of capitalist structures. The infamous Witch is known to house women who seek revenge against misdeeds done to them by their husbands, girls seeking comfort, and is insidious with rumours about her witchcraft. La Matosa is a small town in Mexico pervaded by superstition where the laws of living barely exist creating a society so barbaric it kills whatever comes its way. What happens in a town where the very systems meant to provide relief turns its people against each other? In Fernanda Melchor’s Hurricane Season, a witch’s decomposing corpse is found by a group of children near an irrigation canal.
