Spooky Series

Tales of Hauntings, Strange Happenings and Other Local Lore
Retold by S. E. Schlosser

A huge wind swept through the bedroom, bringing with it the damp, salty smell of the sea.  The tempest tore the blankets right off Billy's shaking body.  He sat bolt upright, heart thundering against his ribs, as a bloated, red-haired figure stepped down from the vastness of the eternal horizon and down into the bedroom...

Meet Billy, a crimper who sells a newcomer to town to a ship captain heading for Shanghai without realizing he just doomed his own nephew to bondage and death.  Billy is just one of many spooky characters who haunt this collection.  A dead grocer feeds a starving woman in Spokane, a group of students descend a mysterious staircase in a cemetery and find themselve at the gates of hell, and a young boy finds himself caught between his murderous step-father and a flesh-eating monster called the Bone Cleaner.  All this and much more!
