May Day Eve and Other Stories

May Day Eve and Other Stories is a quintet of unsettling tales of mystery, religious zeal, and passion. It features the title story “May Day Eve” as well as “Three Generations,” “Doña Jeronima,” “The Legend of the Dying Wanton,” and “Guardia de Honor.”

Set during the Spanish colonial period, these narratives tap into the qualities of magic realism, romance, and historical fiction, as only the master Nick Joaquin can.
