Leslie P. Garcia announces the release of a thematic collection, La Llorona (the Wailing Woman), available as an e-book from Smashwords.com and other e-distributors.

La Llorona (pronounced 'yo-row-na') is the legend of a beautiful young woman driven to the dark side.  She sacrifices her children to the raging waters of the Rio Grande and, centuries later, walks the banks looking for the little ones.

Garcia's thematic collection explores the legend as evil reality in a short story, then questions why real life "lloronas" such as Casey Anthony exist in today's world.  The collection includes the short story, an essay, and poetry.

A timely and terrifying theme--get your e-copy today at smashwords.com!
