New Mexico is a land of shadow and mystery. From the old coal mines near
Raton and the isolation of Isleta Pueblo to the peaks of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains and beyond, ghouls and spirits lie in wait. Witches
transform into vampire bats, werewolves howl and the undead rise with
the light of the moon. La Llorona walks the banks of rivers and roads,
her legendary and mournful cries terrifying any who cross her path. They
are stories passed down by the fearless Comancheros, devoted Franciscan
monks, fierce ciboleros and others to the present day as warnings of the
evil in the world. In a captivating exploration of New Mexico's most
fearful tales, Ray John de Aragon recounts stories from the state's rich
and spine-chilling cultural folklore.
