Commented on Love me a myth!:
   "She's an old piece of folklore, but -strangely, since she was kind of dangerous- a beloved one. We recently visited the area where she supposedly lived, and they have statues and murals in her honor."

   "And more often that people suspect. In my favorite bookstore, it has become a running joke, and each week they fill a display with "The cover is yellow and it's a mystery," or "it has a face on the cover and I think it's horror.""
