Spooky Southwest 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 in remote cattle ranches and abandoned mining camps, on windswept mesas and dry desert seas, in small towns and native settlements, the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again. Southwestern folklore traditions are kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser, and in 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 stormy night or from the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.Schlosser, S. E. is the author of 'Spooky Southwest Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, and Other Local Lore', published 2004 under ISBN 9780762734252 and ISBN 0762734256.
