About the author
Adam Stone is the author of a series of short nonfiction titles for young readers published by Torque, including Haunted Houses, ESP, and Ghosts. Each book surveys a paranormal topic, from reported hauntings to extrasensory perception, laying out popular claims alongside questions about evidence and skepticism and leaving readers to weigh the material themselves rather than presenting firm conclusions. The books share a consistent series format designed for reluctant or early readers, with each title covering a different corner of the paranormal in the same style. Stone's Ghosts, ESP, and Haunted Houses each run through commonly reported phenomena in their subject area and the arguments typically made for and against them. The catalogue offers no further biographical detail, and the books are best understood as introductory, classroom-friendly surveys of paranormal topics for a young audience rather than works of investigation or advocacy.
