About the author

Janice Oberding is a prolific author of regional ghost-story books, most published by Globe Pequot and History Press as part of their state and local history series. Her titles include The Big Book of Nevada Ghost Stories, Big Book of Oregon Ghost Stories, The Big Book of California Ghost Stories, Big Book of Washington Ghost Stories, Haunted Las Vegas, and Ghosts and Legends of Nevada's Highway 50, the last following the reported hauntings along the 287-mile stretch of desert highway billed as the Loneliest Road in America. Each book pairs regional history, such as the story of Nevada as one of the country's most storied states for organized-crime era figures, with accounts of reported hauntings tied to specific towns, buildings, and landmarks. Oberding's books are aimed at readers interested in local history and ghost lore of the American West, written for a popular rather than academic audience.
