He got as close as he could to observe the spectacle; his eyes
could hardly believe what he saw. Circled around the huge bonfire
were many witches dancing and making all kinds of gestures amidst
laughs, screams, and bursts of laughter as they sang all together.
Recounted in Spanish and in English translation, these tales of
sorcerers, fiendish witches, La Llorona, the vanishing hitchhiker,
ghostly apparitions, and balls of fire will fascinate and spook
readers of all ages and backgrounds. The sixty-four narrators in
Brujeras range in age from seventeen to ninety-eight years old.
Their stories come from a variety of Southwestern states as well as
Latin America and demonstrate how the magical world of witchcraft
and the supernatural connects Spain to Latin America and Latin
America to North America. This rich tradition of supernatural tales
illuminates an unexplored aspect of the American Southwests
Hispanic heritage. Included are biographical information about the
narrators and a glossary highlighting the regional Spanish dialect
of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Nasario Garca, a
native New Mexican and leading folklorist in his state, has
produced many works on New Mexican literature and folklore,
including ""Old Las Vegas: Hispanic Memories from the New Mexico
Meadowlands"" (TTUP 2004).
