La Curandera y El Cazador is the first volume in a two-part series that is a testament to the terrifying power of Curanderismo and the beauty of South-Texas culture.
Like many Hispanic families in South Texas in the 1970s, Hector and Ana-Lucia Zapata wanted only their fair share of the American Dream. Instead, they found themselves on a path wrought from despair, horror, and betrayal. Hector discovers his employer, Hamilton Citrus Company, is illegally using a hazardous pesticide to maximize profits. After the harvest season, many of Weslaco's citizens suffer inexplicable and gruesome deaths. To protect the company's secret, Hamilton enlists the services of cartel leader, Agosto Morales. But what was supposed to be a routine job for the drug lord instead brings him face to face with an old and formidable enemy. While trying to save his town, Hector is neutralized at every turn by Agosto's corruptive influence. Morality and virtue collide violently with capitalism and greed. With time running out, Ana-Lucia turns to an old curandera for guidance, unleashing dark and volatile magic on the unsuspecting town. The ramifications of such powerful energies extend well beyond the borders of Weslaco and onto other planes of existence-where death is only the beginning. "Feminism, Oranges and Witchcraft is a labyrinth of horror, popular culture, and social commentary that will keep you guessing until its powerful and grisly finale. A fun read for horror comic fans."-Ramsey Ramirez, South Texas Comic-Con
