Summary
Under the Christmas Tree: Ghost Stories for a Yucatecan Christmas Eve
In Yucatán, the Christmas season is lit by tree lights and posada candles, scented with relleno negro and warm buñuelos… and haunted by things that walk the roads between Christmas Eve and New Year's.
In these twelve chilling tales, José Eduardo Díaz Cutz, creator of the YouTube channel Fuentes Sepultadas, gathers the darker side of a Mexican Christmas. A tenth posada no one invited. Aluxes stealing through the moss of the Nativity scene. A woman waiting beneath the ceiba. A huay chivo prowling on Christmas Eve, a ghost train bound for Motul, a giant black dog guarding the streets of Mérida, a cenote that steals time, and an old year that refuses to leave alone.
Rooted in real places and living Maya traditions, from Izamal to Valladolid, from the henequen haciendas to the city's oldest neighborhoods, these stories are perfect for reading aloud by the light of the tree, for sharing with family, or for listening to in the dark.
Set an extra plate at the table. Leave something to eat on the windowsill. And if someone knocks after the last posada… don't open the door.
