Award-winning translator and author David Bowles brings together twenty-five darkly memorable stories of the southern borderlands of Texas, retold in his unique voice.

An appendix classifies the pieces and enumerates motifs for scholarly research, and an introduction by noted folklorist Mark Glazer provides a larger context for the work.
