This was better than I expected it to be. I wonder if less emphasis on the Latino aspect would encourage more non-Latinos to read it. There's hardly any Spanish in it and it takes place in NYC. And that's the really weird thing about this book. It takes place in NYC at the end of August/beginning of September....2001. I kept waiting for IT, especially since the book is about a henchman of the Devil who seems to have been present at other historical moments where terrible things are happening. I kept thinking that was where it was heading, but it's not even mentioned! The epilogue does mention that it's Tuesday and the weather is beautiful, but that's it. It ends without incident. Very strange. But the story was good, a little creepy, not too scary. I liked it.

Una historia quizas parecida a otras, pero bastante entretenida. Intensa de principio a fin. Un final muy bueno.

I wrote this novel originally in English twenty years ago, based on a successful Argentine TV mini-series. Later on, producer José Levy hired me to translate my own work to Spanish so it could be distributed in Argentina, where the original story by the Borezstein brothers was so well-known. It is rewarding to see the book is on the site shelves.

It is nice to have a more developed story than those 8 episodes!!
The end? Well...
