About this ebook
In this story set in East Texas, a local seamstress named Chintana finds herself responsible for five orphans who are not only captivated by a storyteller’s tale of vengeance but by the long black box he sets before them. As midnight approaches, the box is opened, a fateful dare is made, and the children as well as Chintana come face to face with the consequences of a malice retold and now foretold.
The blank pages in this book are a deliberate design element.

Call me crazy-- but I think this is worth every penny of the 89$ I spent to import my first edition copy a few years back. Not sure I'd recommend this book to anyone not already in Z.
