| SYNOPSIS |
| "If I were, upon dying, to come back as a ghost, I can think of no more beautiful a city to haunt than Merida" - Carlos Fuentes. What is it about the story of a haunting that appeals to our nature? What is it about Merida, with its history dating back to the 16th century when it was an isolated city in New Spain's Yucatan peninsula, that is so haunting and haunted? Why does it offer a rich history from which to draw out the ghosts that live here, some of which date back to when the Maya ruled in all their glory? There is, of course, a natural human fascination with ghost stories. In this collection the author has assembled some of the most captivating accounts of the ghosts, spirits and souls that inhabit Mexico's most haunted city. This full-color book offers the contemporary reader a fascinating insight into the lives-and afterlives-of some of the more intriguing characters to inhabit Merida. With riveting accounts of these tales of terror, Merida now has an authoritative book that tells the stories of the haunted places and the hauntings that characterize this most enchanting city in Mexico. Organized by neighborhood, the stories are told in a manner conducive to self-guided walking tours, with full addresses at the end of each story to facilitate the wandering of a curious pedestrian. Whether the hauntings are by dead Maya sacrificial virgins, lesbian suicides, disappeared Narcos, or vengeful mistresses, this book, in full color, is filled with exciting insights into the breathtaking diversity and exuberance of Merida's paranormal history. |
