In 'The Haunting of Alejandra,' V. Castro weaves a chilling narrative intertwined with Mexican folklore, generational trauma, and a profound exploration of identity. Alejandra, our protagonist, is caught in a struggle beyond the roles of wife, mother, and daughter—the struggle with an encroaching darkness that continues to consume her from within. Overwhelmed by a spectral vision of a weeping woman in white, the infamous La Llorona, Alejandra embarks on a therapeutic journey into her family's tumultuous history. In discovering her biological mother's legacy, she confronts not only the shared sorrows and tragedies of her lineage but also the terrifying presence that has haunted her ancestors. Amidst the depths of despair, Alejandra must tap into the resilience and bravery she's inherited from the women before her to expel the malevolent spirit. Only by harnessing the power bequeathed by her foremothers can she save herself from following them into darkness, vowing to vanquish La Llorona once and for all.
