Читать книгу SANTA FE: PARANORMAL GUIDE - ALLAN PACHECO - Страница 3

MY DEAR FRIENDS many have asked, “When will another book on Santa Fe mysteries be available?” From what I gather, you the reader want new tales and more in depth stories of what was found in ”GHOST-MURDER-MAYHEM: A CHRONICLE SANTA FE.”

Due to the success of my previous publications, I have been pulled into the world of acting, screenwriting, documentaries, and lectures. Because of time constraints I have had few opportunities to investigate the metaphysical much less write about it.

Even my history/paranormal tour business, which consists of treks through Santa Fe’s old town, has been vastly curtailed. It seems my new undertakings have demanded all but my life. Consequently I have disappointed many of my enthusiasts by my lack of pulp output.

It is a turning world! I have jumped off the-round-the-clock capitalist treadmill and have gotten back to my first love, researching and writing about lore and phenomenon.

Why the about face? The requests and letters I received made me reconsider the priority of my projects. Also, I have become incensed in how Santa Fe’s beloved legends, lies, and history have been disparaged by quasi tour guides or new to town sophists.

Maybe this book will help the mouthpieces with their inaccuracies. Hope springs eternal.

Due to those reasons and one that is my secret, I thought it time to revisit Santa Fe’s, cherished noir history and paranormal past.

When some of my zealots found out I was working on another text, they labeled the new book, “SON OF.......GHOST-MURDER-MAYHEM: CHRONICLE SANTA FE.”

If this book has a subtitle it would be “TALES OF THE GOLDEN MONKEY,” in honor of a devotee and her 1960s throwback pals who have repeatedly taken my tours. During this troop’s eclectic indoor get-togethers, my books have been waggishly placed in an upturned palm of a small gold-colored primate statue. At these gatherings my books have tended to stir up memories of old Santa Fe, along with macabre theories concerning the unexplainable.

I raise my cup to all my fans, the “Curious,” the “Throwback Flower Children,” and the “Old Breed.” I thank you for your patronage.

As for my critics, they call me “The Assassin.” Why the moniker? Because when it comes to Santa Fe history I tell it like it is and this means that I pop the balloons of modern myth that have attached themselves to the local tales.

What to expect from this book? More popped balloons and new information concerning some of the town’s classic tales that were briefly gone over in some of my past publications.

New subjects will also be covered and some of the Capital city’s most infamous yarns will be delved into with great detail. Hopefully this book will be well received and will find its way into the palm of the Golden Monkey.

Am I putting too much mustard on the hotdog, as in what this book is about?

Plain and simple! This narrative is full of rumors, lies, speculations, tall tales, facts, and theories. If that overture does not peek your interest, then buy this book because I have a mortgage.

Enough of the preamble! If it’s morning, grab a cup of coffee. If it’s evening, pour yourself a glass of Captain Morgan or whatever you fancy. Find yourself a comfortable chair, buckle up and here we go!

P.S. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I loved bringing it to you.
