Stories told and retold

Cuentos for after dark

The legends that followed us to bed, the stories our elders changed with every telling, and books that widen the Honduran imagination.

Tale 1

El Cadejo

Two spectral dogs travel the night roads. One protects. One follows with darker intent.

Every family tells it differently.

Tale 2

La Sucia

A beautiful figure near the water reveals another face to the traveler who comes too close.

Every family tells it differently.
