"If you have ever felt a chill as you walked past a Vermont graveyard, or felt an unseen hand brush against you on a mountain in Maine, you will love Spooky New England. And if you don't believe in ghosts--you will." - Michael Carlton, Editor, Yankee Magazine "Spooky New England is one of those books that you cannot put down until you reach the end...This is the ideal book for curling on the couch on a rainy afternoon and enjoying an entertaining read." - Rambles: A Cultural Arts Magazine "The author lets the stories speak for themselves which is virtue not possessed by many folklore books... " - Dennis Phillips, Top 1000 Reviewer, Amazon.com "If preparations for Halloween have put you in an eerie frame of mind, S.E. Schlosser has the perfect book for you..." - Donna McCrohan Rosenthal, Ridge Writers "The great thing about this book is that, like most folklore, it seems like you've read or heard most of the stories before. They exist in the periphery of our memory, and reading them again is like coming home to hear familiar stories from a favorite grandmother..." - Matt Staggs, Skullring.org<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Author S.E. Schlosser has been telling stories since she was a child, when games of "let's pretend" quickly built themselves into full-length stories. A graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature and Rutgers University, she also created and maintains the website AmericanFolklore.net, where she shares a wealth of stories from all 50 states, some dating back to the origins of America. Artist Paul Hoffman trained in painting and printmaking, with his first extensive illustration work on assignment in Egypt, drawing ancient wall reliefs for the University of Chicago. His work graces books of many genres - children's titles, textbooks, short story collections, natural history volumes, and numerous cookbooks. For Spooky Florida, he employed a scratchboard technique and an active imagination.
