Outdoors and humor writer Bjorn Dihle taps into that sense of the Panhandle with his debut book In this unique work, Dihle unites one part nature writing, one part memoir, and one part historical work under the thematic subject of supernatural stories in Southeast. Throughout the book, Dihle's strong voice for nature writing is clear, as well as a healthy dose of levity from his own life to lighten the often somber stories. Each story is not simply anecdotal asides from interviewees, but is set into its historical context, with many interesting facts to learn." --Juneau Empire<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Lifelong Alaskan Bjorn Dihle is a writer who's been published in the magazines <i>Sierra, </i> <i>Alaska, </i> <i>Desert Companion, </i> <i>Coast & Kayak, </i> <i>Adventure Kayak, </i> <i>North of Ordinary, </i> <i>Earth Island Journal, </i> <i>High Country News, </i> <i>Birdwatching, </i> <i>Alaska Sporting Journal, </i>Hunt Alaska, </i> and <i>Fish Alaska.</i> He writes a weekly outdoors column for the <i>Juneau Empire</i> newspaper ("Off the Beaten Path"), a column for <i>Hunt Alaska Magazine</i> ("Red Gold"), and has a bimonthly column for <i>Fish Alaska Magazine</i> ("Cautionary Tales").
