The ancient evil spirits of La Llorona, the Wailing Woman of Aztec-Hispanic tradition; the hell that lies within Pancho Villa’s treasure caves; the restless ghost of a Chinese girl whose body was tragically lost, of a dead man out to reclaim his shoes, of a Japanese lady whose ashes were carelessly tossed in a cactus patch are but a handful of the terrifying stories in this collection of ghost tales from the U.S.-Mexico border.
