Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boggy Meadow is a mysterious place - especially that spot in the Western Woods that many speak of in hushed tones. There was once a showman called Sir Henry, the keeper of the local freak show. Three years after his death, locals have reported activity on the old property and peculiar flyers spreading around the town center. Residents and brave tourists alike did not account for such an eerie surprise... A horror novel set in America during the time period of The Great Depression, featuring tales of adversity, trauma, revenge, and overcoming isolation. A grief stricken man finds himself risen from the grave, on a mysterious path to discover what put him there in the first place. Along the way, he accumulates a band of misfits who have also found themselves cast aside by society. This anthology chronicles these dark tales. This book details the back histories of Sir Henry, Poppy, Vex, Kane, Pyrum, and more. Authors Amanda Rosenblatt and Brad Acevedo, who are devoted fans of this fictional universe, bring the world of Boggy Meadow to life. The book is a love letter to fans of haunted attractions and the holiday of Halloween. Based on the iconic haunted attraction in Central Florida created by Zach Glaros, Sir Henry's Haunted Trail was established in 2014. It has survived multiple hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic, and it continues to entertain many fans year after year.

Anastasius” (which Charles Dickens called “the best ghost story ever written”); E. F. Benson’s “The Bus-Conductor” (the source of one of the most iconic lines in horror); and E. and H. Heron’s “The Story of the Spaniards, Hammersmith” (the debut adventure of Flaxman Lowe, fiction’s first psychic detective). Whether the stories are familiar or overlooked, all are sure to surprise and astonish the reader long past the closing of this book’s cover.

Book excerpt: In famed author-illustrator P.J. Lynch’s gorgeous tale, he creates two worlds—underwater and above—to tell an epic and haunting love story. Jacob and his father are the only people who fish Lake Spetzia, which was formed when the river was dammed and their town was flooded. The villagers say the lake is haunted, but Jacob and his father don’t want to leave, because Jacob’s mother is buried in the cemetery below the water. As Jacob grows up, a village girl named Ellen falls in love with him, and he with her. But before they are married, Jacob disappears—lured underwater by the ghosts who inhabit the sunken village. Years go by, with Jacob held captive by the watery spirits and Ellen never giving up hope that she will find him, until a fateful night when Jacob sees the light of Ellen’s boat floating above. Can he break free and reach the surface? Masterful illustrations alive with achingly expressive characters and eerie underwater light bring readers into acclaimed creator P.J. Lynch’s rich world of love, loss, and hope.
