Witches, phantoms and other spooky creatures inhabit these stories drawn from Mexican-American folklore. Star-crossed lovers mysteriously disappear; old women metamorphose into wicked owls; phantoms roam the countryside. This ebook edition contains the original Spanish versions along with the author’s English translation.
