So, you just moved into town and you've already heard about "Old Creek Road at midnight"? ...or you've decided to spend the night at a bed-and-breakfast a little off the beaten path (cool that they had an open room at such a busy time of year, -eh?). ...or maybe?

Yep, it's another collection of stories from Mr. Norman's "Haunted America" series, and he hasn't slacked off at all! Blending 'true' ghost stories (okay, I have to say it that way, but I have a friend who has a husband and wife from the last century or so back living at her place with her)... Excuse me, back on track: "Blending 'true' ghost stories..." and local legends with his narrative touch that brings tales to life in the present, this book is just the thing to bring to the campfire on a Summer's night. ...or to a darkened living room on All Hallow's Eve. ...or maybe along for a little light browsing on your next trip when you've stopped to overnight in a random small town?

Heck you probably won't even need a reading lamp if you stop at the right place; it's likely a local apparition may provide some spectral illumination for you. Highly recommended if you're curious about the tales of the country and their origins!
