San Antonio Nights

"San Antonio Nights" is a semifictional novel set in the early 1970s that explores the city's urban legends through the eyes of a teenager. It offers a South Texas perspective on growing up in a middle–class neighborhood and the adventures that unfold when venturing beyond that familiar "bubble."

The novel weaves together real–life figures such as Madame Brown, Jack Hanratty, and Lester Roloff with local urban myths, including Stone Bull, the Donkey Lady, the Ghost Tracks, and the Midget Mansion, creating a vivid portrayal of teenage life in San Antonio.
