“Was desire something like being possessed by a nightmare?” 
Fernanda and Annelise are so close they are practically sisters: a double image, inseparable. So how does Fernanda end up bound on the floor of a deserted cabin, held hostage by one of her teachers and estranged from Annelise? 
When Fernanda, Annelise, and their friends from the Delta Bilingual Academy convene after school, Annelise leads them in thrilling but increasingly dangerous rituals to a rhinestoned, Dior-scented, drag-queen god of her own invention. Even more perilous is the secret Annelise and Fernanda share, rooted in a dare in which violence meets love. Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality. 
Interweaving pop culture references and horror concepts drawn from from Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, and anonymous “creepypastas,” Jawbone is an ominous, multivocal novel that explores the terror inherent in the pure potentiality of adolescence and the fine line between desire and fear.

Criaturas que se suben a los tejados y alzan el vuelo, una adolescente apasionada por la sangre, una profesora que recoge la cabeza de la vecina en su jardín, una chica incapaz de separarse de la dentadura de su padre, dos gemelas ruidistas en un festival de música experimental, mujeres que se lanzan desde lo alto de una montaña, terremotos apocalípticos, un chamán que escribe un conjuro para revivir a su hija. Las voladoras reúne ocho cuentos que se ubican en ciudades, pueblos, páramos, volcanes donde la violencia y el misticismo, lo terrenal y lo celeste, pertenecen a un mismo plano ritual y poético. Mónica Ojeda nos vuela la cabeza con un gótico andino y nos muestra, una vez más, que el horror y la belleza pertenecen a una misma familia.
