| Publisher Description: Historic hauntings and ghost tales from the Frontier, Hispanic and Native American Traditions. In the shadows lurking between midnight and morning, the imagination reigns. In the ghost lore of the frontier, Hispanic, and Native American traditions, "real" and "imagined" are words with shifting boundaries: shape-shifters live in the shadows; phantom eyes shine in rearview mirrors; invisible mourners chant sacred songs. The 15 tales include: "The Ghosts of Wounded Knee," "The Night of Water," "The Haunting of the Sheridan Inn," and "No Goodbyes."Wolves become women, native artifacts carry curses, and the ghost of Miss Kate catches flying wine glasses. All the stories come from the performance repertory of storyteller Patrick Mendoza, with his narrator's ear for dialogue, eye for detail, and empathy of human frailty. These Native American stories emphasize the importance of fairness and respect. |
