TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for 30 spooky stories of ghosts, eerie happenings, haunted places, and other supernatural occurrences in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Set in New England's historic towns, charming old islands, and sparsely populated backwoods, the scary ghost stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again.

Supernatural Yankee folklore is kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S.E. Schlosser, and in artist Paul Hoffman's evocative illustrations. You'll meet seaweed-covered phantom sailors and a ghostly black dog, hear otherwordly voices and things that go bump in the night, and feel an icy wind on the back of your neck on a warm summer evening. Whether you read these scary ghost stories around the campfire on a dark and stormy night, during a Halloween party, or from the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.
