Hand-Crafted Zine: Lore & Legends of San Antonio's West Side

The West Side of San Antonio is a place where history is stitched into every mural and whispered in every courtyard. Lore and Legends of San Antonio’s West Side is a handcrafted zine that explores the barrio not just as a location, but as a living, breathing protector of memory. Within these pages, you will encounter the chilling hoof-beats of the White-Suit Man at El Camaroncito and the shrieking justice of the Donkey Lady along the Medina River.

This collection goes beyond simple ghost stories to explore how folklore serves as survival. These stories reflect a community’s endurance. You’ll also find the warmth of West Side traditions, including the rise of the low-riding Pancho Claus and the healing legacy of Don Álvaro on Flores Street. This zine is an invitation to see the West Side through the eyes of those who know that its ghosts are the true keepers of its legacy.
