During my decade as a nightclub doorman in Magaluf, Mallorca, it was the backdrop to countless chaotic and tumultuous nights. Fights were a constant occurrence, but amidst the chaos, one man found his path to discipline and resilience. He recounts his experience as a doorman in one of Mallorca's most problematic areas. With a strong foundation in sports and martial arts, he not only physically survives the turbulent nights but also strengthens his mind in the process.

This book is a testament to his transformation, forged in the heat of battle, emerging as a certified professional. He leaves Magaluf for twenty years, but his heart remains in Mallorca.

En este compendio de 21 cuentos, Jorge García vuelve a compartirnos las leyendas de terror, aparecidos, brujas y miterio que caracterizan a los lugares emblemáticos de Guatemala, como el Centro Histórico de la capital, las calles empedradas de La Antigua y otras regiones del país, como Amatitlán y San Marcos. Fiel a su estilo anecdótico que ya conocimos en el primer volumen de Espantos y aparecidos: Cuentos de Guatemala, publicado en 2021 por esta misma editorial, el autor nos lleva amenamente a sus lectores, ya seamos niños, adolescentes o adultos, por fascinantes historias que, además de fijar la basta tradición oral guatemalteca, nos entretienen y hacen reflexionar sobre la complejidad del ser humano y su fascinación por el más allá.
