Haunted Houses and Terrifying Tales

Set in East Tennessee, this anthology contains works from members of the Etowah Writers' Guild. Nonfiction, fiction, sci-fi, humor, and horror provide something for everyone. Cannibalistic grannies may have you second guessing those missing neighbors while the deep European roots of the Appalachian folk hide an ancient danger on isolated hiking trails. Hauntings, which range from humorous to downright dangerous, cast an eye towards local graveyards and unsolved murders as mischievous ghosts and ghastly bank robbers wreak havoc. Bewitched nursing homes, summer camps with nefarious secrets, and a mysterious hotel from the past will set a chill down your spine. Black cats and Halloween outings provide humor, while local encounters with devil dogs and the legendary Wampus Cat make for apprehensive walks in the dark. Strange lights in the sky, aliens, and an invasive force seeking a place of its own rounds out this wonderful collection.
