V.Castro weaves urban legend, folklore, life experience and heartache in this personal journey beginning in south Texas: a bar where a devil dances the night away; a street fight in a neighborhood that may not have been a fight after all; a vengeful chola at the beginning of the apocalypse; mind swapping in the not so far future; satan who falls and finds herself in a brothel in Amsterdam; the keys to Mictlan given to a woman after she dies during a pandemic. The collection finishes with two longer tales: The Final Porn Star is a twist on the final girl trope and slasher, with a creature from Mexican folklore; and Truck Stop is an erotic horror romance with two hearts: a video store and a truck stop.

The fifth and final pearl is the only thing that stands between the mermaid Princess Mira and her ability to lift the curse from her kingdom. Scarred from terrible encounters with sea creatures who want to steal the other four, she bravely searches for the Green Fairy, who guards the Green Pearl. Together with her friends Clyde the merman and Olena the octopus, Princess Mira meets treachery and danger, and the three must work together to save the pearls and themselves. But lost in the ocean, with no idea where home lies, they find exhaustion is a greater hardship than either the ocean or its creatures. Will they lose hope, when they are so near the end of their quest? This final story in Princess Mira’s quest for the pearls will soon become a favorite of young readers.
Take a doomed princess, a dispossessed prince and a wicked king, a vengeful magician and a melancholy witch; now add fairies, ogres, changelings, scheming barons, wanderers who are not what they seem, robbers, orphans, and a race of hardbitten warriors at war with all humanity. Stir in politics, intrigue, plots and assassinations, battles and sieges, then set it all to simmer in a mythical archipelago across the western sea before the time of Arthur. Jack Vance draws together the threads of fairy tale and pagan myth to weave an epic tapestry of adventure and intrigue in the Elder Isles. The result is a masterpiece. - Matt Hughes "Suldrun's Garden" is Book I of the Lyonesse series, and Volume 52 of the Spatterlight Press Signature Series.
