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.
