About the author
Christopher S. Larsen is the author of Haunted Mantorville: Trailing the Ghosts of Old Minnesota, published by The History Press in 2011. The book is a local history of Mantorville, Minnesota, told through accounts of reported hauntings and ghost stories tied to the town's older buildings and streets. Larsen writes in the tradition of regional haunted-history titles, blending documented local history with collected testimony about unexplained activity, rather than presenting a general theory of ghosts or the afterlife. The book is aimed at readers interested in Midwestern local history and small-town ghost lore, including visitors planning to walk the town's streets themselves. It sits alongside other History Press titles that pair a specific place with its folklore, offering a compact, place-based read rather than a broad survey of the paranormal.
