Book excerpt: Nobody mentioned the victims, or the terror that had gripped the town. For the last twenty days it had rained and between the usual quiet conversations and card games, only the trickle of water and the air of cold fear could be detected. A serial killer stalks La Rochelle's cobbled streets - and by the most unfortunate of occurrences, Kachoudas, a poor timid tailor and a newcomer to the town, knows exactly who it is... One of Georges Simenon's darkest novels, The Hatter's Ghosts is a riveting portrait of murder and subterfuge, at once a cat and mouse thriller and an acute physiological study of the criminal imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of chilling ghost stories and death lore collected from central Kentucky. In Ghosts of the Bluegrass, James McCormick and Macy Wyatt present stories of Kentucky ghosts, past and present. Some of the tales are set in rural areas, but many take place in urban areas such as the haunted house on Broadway in downtown Lexington and in buildings on the University of Kentucky campus, where Adolph Rupp is said to have conversed with the deceased biology professor Dr. Funkhouser. This volume contains chapters on haunted places, poltergeists, communication with the dead, and ghosts who linger to resolve unfinished business from their past lives, as well as a chapter about ghosts who reveal themselves through lights, changes in temperature, or sound. The book even features a chilling account by a nineteenth-century family haunted in their Breckinridge County home. Whether witnesses believe that a spirit has come to protect those it left behind or to complete an unfinished task, ghostly appearances remain a mystery. As McCormick and Wyatt point out, there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to the supernatural. One thing is certain: these tales will bring pleasure and perhaps a goose bump or two to the reader interested in ghost stories and folklore in the Kentucky tradition. Praise for Ghosts of the Bluegrass “Bell witch stories, ghostly dogs, campus ghosts, rattling chains—all are here, with titles like “The Gray Lady of Liberty Hall” and “Family Banshee Foretells Deaths.” In sum, this is a fine anthology with extremely interesting and readable ghost stories, worth reading for the charm of the stories themselves.” —Journal of Folklore Research “I felt like I was there sitting down with some of the area’s best storytellers, hearing authentic stories. McCormick and Wyatt have done a tremendous service to current readers and to future generations by preserving this important part of our heritage.” —Roberta Simpson Brown, author of The Walking Trees and Other Scary Stories and Queen of the Cold-Blooded Tales “The compilers have done an excellent job of editing, inserting helpful explanatory or historic notes to add to information on a particular story, and giving cross references for like stories.” —Kentucky Kaleidoscope

Book excerpt: A new amusement park has sprung up in Hatter's Cove just in time for Halloween and Kat Archer, reporter for the Hatter's Cove Gazette, is dying to get into the park's main attraction: the Haunted Castle.The castle, a grand sprawling structure located on a tiny island off of the coast, was supposed to be the crown jewel of the park but for some unknown reason it has been declared off-limits to the general public since the park opened.With access to the castle limited to only a few chosen guests, rumors have been running rampant around town. Most of the townsfolks blame the supposed ghost that haunts the island for keeping the castle doors closed. Kat, however, suspects that there is a far more rational explanation and is determined to get an exclusive invitation into the castle in order to investigate.But when Madison Hatter, one of the park's owners, is murdered by what appears to be a ghost, Kat starts to wonder if the castle's ghost story is more than just a fancy marketing gimmick but in actuality the product of a diabolical mind.

One boy, Colin, has found a ghost town with ghosts that appear each day in a saloon. One ghostly man with a scar on his face cheats at cards. There's a shoot-out among these ghosts where that man is killed. Then the whole scene disappears. Colin persuades his twin sister, Erin and best friend, Kevin to come with him to see this. After they see it, Colin finds a hat which he and his friend think might come from the dead cowboy in the shootout. They don't know why it has lasted over 100 years but Colin puts it on since he has always wanted a cowboy hat. From there their lives are changed. They run into more ghosts who have brought their story to the future and only now are able to tell it because of a strange event. The hat is more than it seems. Colin and his friend and sister are thrown into an adventure that involves people of the past and now.
