Have you ever been too scared to sleep with the lights off? Were
you frightened by a scratching sound inside of your walls or the
beady red eyes and knotted green fingers of a duende? In his first
collection of scary stories, Xavier Garza asks these questions. The
stories in this collection curdle with the creepy and crawling
characters of traditional folklore. These stories brim with the
supernatural: the mysterious disappearance of children who made
deals with duendes, evil trolls who live inside the walls of our
houses; the ghostly specter of La Llorona who floats along the
creek bed, howling, "!Ay, mis hijos!"; witches that turn into great
white owls; a severed hand that hurtles across floors and catches a
death grip; and even the Devil himself harvesting wayward souls.
These are all cucuys, supernatural beings who have come to haunt
the imagination in these tales of wonder and warning. These
delicious and frightful stories come down through generations of
grandmas teaching children to respect the laws of nature and the
All Powerful. These particular spooky cucuys are recounted and
illustrated by master storyteller Xavier Garza, just the way he
heard them at the knees of other masters when he was growing up in
