The Secrets of Lobo Viejo: A Town Where the Living and the Dead Share Reality - Paperback

by Ana Maria Cuneo (Author)

Lobo Viejo is a town steeped in secrets-a place where the living and the dead exist side by

side, bound within the same uneasy reality.

This murder mystery novella unfolds in the rugged

borderlands of southwestern Texas, where Mexico's influence is ever-present, weaving rich

threads of the Hispanic culture into the fabric of the story.

It also draws from the early, restless

days of the Texas oil boom, grounding its mystery in a time of transformation and change.

Infused with magic realism-a literary Latin-American tradition with deep pre-Columbian

roots-the story blurs the line between the natural and the supernatural.

At the same time, it

pays homage to the great writer Gabriel García Márquez and to Edgar Allan Poe, the master of

mystery and the macabre.
