Spooky Virginia

Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other strange occurrences in Virginia. You’ll meet Google-Eyed Jim, the bane of every Virginia sheriff since this notorious horse thief is really a ghost; a vampire stalking the miners around Big Stone Gap; a preacher who takes on the Jack Ma Lantern singlehanded – and loses; an Honest Wine Merchant who finds something unpleasant in his burgundy; and many others.

Virginia folklore traditions are kept alive in these expert retellings by master storyteller S. E. Schlosser and through artist Paul G. Hoffman’s evocative illustrations. Whether read around the campfire on a dark and dreary night or from the backseat of the family van on the way to Grandma’s, this is a collection to treasure.
