On a small Caribbean island, where corsairs and pirates once roamed, many extraordinary legends and tales have been told, especially tales of ghosts and the boogieman. Here is a collection of seven Gothic tales, with Puerto Rico as backdrop:
--A father's gift to his child causes emotional tensions in a tropical hamlet where any unusual occurrences is viewed with speculation and wonder.
--A mysterious woman washes up on the beach. Is she a victim or circumstances or a siren come from the sea?
--A cane cutter in the autumn of his life must choose between honor or shame.
--Would you escort a stranger to a discotheque? What if that stranger tuned out to be more than what she appeared?
--And young boy must deal with his mother's death, and oppresive guilt.
--Could little Jimmie Garcia be the devil? Is that why his mother is trying to kill him?
--What if, when Icarus fell, he had an altercation with present time?
Just what the doctor ordered, if you like Gothic tales and the macabre.
