Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales Told at Midnight Along the Rio Grande: A great river with two names forms the southern boundary of Texas. Here, two cultures clash and old world ghosts collide with new. Two peoples create their myths and legends, each with their own heroes and villains, lovers and friends, natural and supernatural. Collected and created by the Valley Byliners are 34 such tales suitable for those darkest hours. The members of the Valley Byliners, whose history as an organization stretches back to the 1940s, have come together to produce a fourth book. The writers sincerely hope you'll be amazed and thrilled. Perhaps you'll feel the chill of something other-worldly at your back as you read their latest offering.
