Spooky New York: Tales Of Hauntings, Strange Happenings, And Other Local Lore (2nd ed.) | Free Book
New York's folklore is kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser and in artist Paul Hoffman's evocative illustrations. Readers will meet the White Lady of Rochester, dance to the rival fiddlers in Brooklyn, hear otherworldly voices in the Catskills, and run into the things that go bump in the night on Long Island--or simply feel an icy wind on the back of their necks on a warm New York evening. Whether read around the campfire on a dark and stormy night or from the backseat of the family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to treasure.
About the 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 Web site
AmericanFolklore.net, where she shares a wealth of stories from all
fifty states, some dating back to the origins of America. She is also
the author of Globe Pequot's Spooky New England, Spooky South, and
Spooky Southwest. She lives in Arizona.
Paul G. 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 the Spooky series he
employed a scratchboard technique and an active imagination. He lives
in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
