Spooky Canada Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore

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 alongside the deep, murky waters of Nova Scotia, in the dark, gnarly thickets of New Brunswick, and upon the frigid, desolate Alberta frontier, the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again. The folklore traditions of Canada 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 Canada Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore', published 2007 under ISBN 9780762745609 and ISBN 0762745606.
