About the author

J. Barba

There was a small diner in the heart of my old town. Although it was closed on Mondays, it was never truly empty. On those quiet evenings, my family and I would gather inside, welcomed like kin by the owners. The tables didn’t just hold pozole and playing cards; they held stories. The room would hum with talk of shadows that moved on their own, strange knocks at the door in the middle of the night, inexplicable noises, and age-old legends from the region. Those stories lingered somewhere between memory and imagination and I have wrote several short stories, and finally a novel.

The past never truly fades away —it lingers in our minds. Things are not always what they appear to be.

Unforeseen forces beyond comprehension stir trouble in the darkness.

This is a tale of sacrifice—a battle not only against the wicked, but against the secrets buried within history itself.
