Per author Adela Pineda Franco Halloween & Day of the Dead are two different holidays. Halloween is about ghost & ghouls but Day of the Dead is about family and the spirituality of our departed loved ones. #ReadLatinoLit

Author Adela Pineda Franco is upset over the commercialization of Day of the Dead. We have gotten away from the spiritual & personal perspective of the day. Traditions are eroding. Now the Day of the Dead is entertainment & for show. These stories are more personable. #ReadLatinoLit
