Makes sense. Someone also offered the word "crimped". Engarzada does not appear in any dictionaries that I have. - vicentev, Aug 22, 2010
Try looking up "engarzar". This verb appears even in my smallest pocket dictionary. - lazarus1907, Aug 22, 2010

I don't know but to hazard a guess I would say "Linked stories" i.e one story links to another.

According to the SD dictionary it does mean to link together. - sagiia, Aug 22, 2010

To me, "Historias engarzadas" does not mean "Crimped stories" at all. "Engarzar", according to my Collins is: to mount (with metal), to thread (with beads) , or to link or connect (with ideas). When it comes to stories, "engarzadas" means linked, interrelated, interconnected.
