Maldito

by Gervasio Arrancado

Overview

Maldito... accursed child or the fulfillment
of an ancient Mayan prophecy? The 13th child of parents who were the 13th children for 13 generations, Maldito is considered cursed by his mother, Eufemia, to the point that she actually names him Accursed. Still bearing the terrible scars of his own early life and distrustful of everyone, his father can do nothing for him. How does a child survive a loveless home, bereft of care and any but the most basic interactions? Come along. Maybe you will care. Maybe you can help Maldito as he tries to make his way. If you've enjoyed the works of Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, you'll enjoy these Stories from the Cantina.

About the Author

Gervasio Arrancado (the magic-realism writing persona of Harvey Stanbrough) was born in a small shack in Mexico and raised in the orphanage at Agua Idelfonso, several kilometers, give or take a few, from the fictional fishing village of Agua Rocosa. He is fortunate to have made the acquaintance of Augustus McCrae, Hub and Garth McCann, El Mariachi, Forest Gump, The Bride (Black Mamba), Agents J and K, a very old man with enormous wings, Juan-Carlos Salazár, Maldito, the chupacabra and several other notables. The most interesting man in America is his third cousin, twice removed. Gervasio visits regularly with his friend Nick Porter, whom he fondly calls Paco (nobody knows why, but we’re all certain he has his reasons), and with Juan-Carlos Salazár, whom he calls his colaborador in all things literary. To this day he lives and writes at that place on the horizon where reality just folds into imagination.
