A folklore horror novel by K. P. Larimar
Ciguapa Season
Everyone in Barahona has a Ciguapa story. Most of them are jokes—until twelve-year-old Mateo’s little sister disappears into the mountain.
About the book
The old stories were never nonsense. They were warnings.
When twelve-year-old Mateo’s little sister Sofía vanishes into the mountain above their town, the search begins to thin—and her disappearance starts becoming just another story.
Mateo refuses to let that happen. His notebook holds what the adults forget: the names, the dates, the footprints, and the rules nobody can explain anymore. The deeper he digs, the more clearly those rules point toward a truth buried under eighty years of grief.
Somewhere beyond an old stone wall, Sofía is still alive. To bring her home, Mateo must learn how to reach her without letting the mountain reach him first.
