The Ghostly Rider

Fiction. Short Stories. Children. Hernan Moreno-Hinojosa has appered in various magazines and print media and was recently awarded a Letter of Commendation for his work as a Metro Policeman in Houston, Texas where he lives. In this debut collection of stories of the bizarre, the folk legends of a community raise their heads, sometimes even from the grave. The spooks are all here: Lady Death, the Ghostly Rider, and their other dead--and in some cases deadly--friends. Hernan Moreno-Hinjosa threads together the cuentos viejos (old stories) told by the fire in the shadows of "el desierto muerto," the region of South Texas known to many as the dead desert and the source of many chilling tales.
