Produktbeschreibung
"Legends of San Juan" is a supernatural mystery set in Puerto Rico, where a group of friends-Mari, Ani, Javi, Sofi, and Carlos-find themselves drawn into the island's haunted past. During the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, Mari begins experiencing unsettling visions and encounters with shadowy figures, all while a mysterious presence seems to call her name. As they investigate these strange occurrences, they uncover a powerful connection to the spirits of the island, particularly the Taíno people, whose sacred sites were desecrated during colonization. The group discovers a series of ancient symbols, including spirals, that seem to hold the key to freeing these restless spirits, who are trapped in a cycle of grief and anger. Through Mari's grandmother's journal, which details rituals and the importance of sacred places, they learn that the spirits are seeking release-an action that can only be achieved by restoring these desecrated sites. The friends must venture through haunted landmarks like El Morro and Cueva del Sol, seeking answers and performing rituals to heal the land and its spirits. As the group dives deeper into the island's forgotten history, the line between the living and the dead blurs. They must confront not only the spirits' plight but also the personal fears and doubts that arise as they uncover truths about Mari's family and the island's troubled past. With each ritual, they draw closer to a final confrontation that will test their resolve and force them to face the island's dark secrets. Blending rich Puerto Rican folklore with a contemporary supernatural mystery, Legends of San Juan explores themes of cultural identity, ancestral ties, and the healing power of acknowledging and confronting the past. The group's journey becomes a quest not just for answers, but for redemption and peace for the spirits-and for themselves.
Autorenporträt
Ismael S. Rodriguez Jr. is a poet and writer whose work dwells in the space where stillness meets pressure. Shaped by lived experience, movement, and sustained attention to power and survival, his writing blends lyrical witness, surrealism, and contemplative resistance. A U.S. Navy veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm aboard a ship deployed in the Mediterranean, he carries an enduring fascination with authority, machinery, discipline, and moral ambiguity-often approached sideways, with humor and grace. His work has appeared in Halfway Down the Stairs, The Beatnik Cowboy, Chiron Review, Nebo, Home Planet, Lost Lake Folk Opera, Pensive: A Global Journal of Spirituality & the Arts, Muse Literary Journal, and elsewhere. He is the author of multiple poetry and fiction collections and is currently working toward traditional publication while continuing to explore what survives after spectacle fades. Rodriguez lives in Florida, where he writes quietly, listens closely, and believes that attention itself can be a radical act.
