Synopsis
A collection of thirty folktales highlighting famous and not-so-famous New England ghosts, mysterious happenings, powers of darkness, and wonders of the invisible world.
Biography
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 New England, he employed a scratchboard technique and an active imagination.

October 16, 2003: These short, spooky stories are like eating potato chips. One is not enough. Try to read this book when you know you have plenty of time on your hands. Otherwise the dishes won't get done, your kids will be stranded at the soccer field, and life in general will come to a halt until you've read the last word. Five stars!

October 16, 2003: I just got the book and started reading it last night! I love it! Since I'm not from New England, I found the map to be very helpful. I have book club and I'll be discussing this book. We were to read ghost stories of our choosing!
