Legends, myths, and folklore; tales passed down through generations as inspiration or sometimes as warnings of unknown dangers. In Creative Impulse Publishing’s Asusto: A Legendary Night, writer and illustrator Franco Cespedes presents classic Costa Rican and Latin American folktales through a series of unfortunate and horrific events.

Egos clash as a group of drunk, hotheaded men verbally explore local myths while gathered around a bar. As the validity of their stories come into question – especially when one loner chooses to discredit everything being said – fists and weapons are drawn to a tense standstill.
