The Wolf, the Lamb, and the Butcher: & Other Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798259277380)

In the cities, villages, and haunted landscapes of Colombia, ordinary lives conceal dark secrets.

A school principal covers up a scandal he believes will save his career, until a grieving mother decides revenge is the only justice left. A twelve-year-old boy drifts through a strange limbo after the bullet that left him in a coma. A dying man discovers the past refuses to stay buried. A woman is haunted by a presence no one else can see. An artist creates a work powerful enough to alter the fate of the world.

Blending dark magical realism, Latin American folklore, social injustice, revenge, and the supernatural, these gripping stories cut through the heart of the Colombian Caribbean, where violence, memory, and myth are never far apart. Here, shame, anger, grief, and hope reveal an unsettling truth: Humans are capable of extraordinary tenderness... and terrifying cruelty.
