In Cancun 1986, Mayans and Mexicans are fighting each other using strange powers they do not understand. A young American, alive with his first taste of star-crossed love, finds himself caught in the crossfire. Who is the mysterious and deadly White Lady murdering tourists? What strange, otherworldly things wait in the jungle? Will our young hero beware or heed Saint Death's call? Braum's debut novel delivers a smart, character-driven adventure in the unique and powerful style readers encountered in his story collection, The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales.

Enter the jungle where The Serpent's Shadow looms over the fate of an embattled city and a young man's dream. "An expertly plotted coming-of-age story where love isn't just blind, but horrific."

Many of them he calls "strange tales" intentionally adopting the term used by Robert Aickman.
