Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for thirty creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other strange occurrences from times past. Set way back on the quiet, rustic farmlands of Lansing and Grosse Pointe Woods, in the dark, heavily wooded areas of Monroe County, and along the frigid, babbling streams of Detroit, the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again. Michigan folklore traditions are kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser, and through artist Paul Hoffman's evocative illustrations. You'll meet ghosts and witches, hear things that go bump in the night, and feel an icy wind on the back of your neck on a warm summer evening. Whether read around the campfire on a dark and dreary night or from the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.Hoffman, Paul G. is the author of 'Spooky Michigan Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore', published 2007 under ISBN 9780762741397 and ISBN 0762741392.
