Tales of La Llorona, the wailing woman, have struck fear into the hearts of children and adults alike for centuries. In this volume, learn how stories of La Malinche, the jilted mistress of Hernan Cortés, ghostly European women in white, shrieking banshees, and Aztec goddesses combined to create the La Llorona legend. Then, from New Mexico's traditional wailing woman in white to the rebozo-wearing skeleton stalking the streets of Mexico City to a horse-headed iteration haunting Texas, see how La Llorona differs from region to region. Also included are entries on related specters like El Llorón, a male version of La Llorona, La Lechuza, the owl witch, the Donkey Lady of San Antonio, the Ghost Girl of the Mimbres, the whistling El Silbón, the vampiric tlahuelpuchi of Tlaxcala, and many more!
