Descrizione Spooky California
Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for thirty creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other strange occurrences from times past. Set in remote mining towns in the Sierra Nevadas, on the rugged coast of the Monterey Peninsula, and in the long-ago environs of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento, the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection will have you looking over your shoulder again and again.
California folklore traditions are kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser and in artist Paul Hoffman's evocative illustrations. You'll meet ghosts and witches, hear things go bump in the night, and feel an icy wind on the back of your neck on a warm summer evening. Whether read around the campfire on a dark and stormy night or in the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.
