About the author
Janice Tremeear is the author of a series of regional ghost-story books published by History Press, centered on the American Midwest. Illinois' Haunted Route 66, from 2013, follows reported hauntings along the historic highway between Chicago and St. Louis, including the account of a man executed for witchcraft and stories tied to Chicago's Hull House and H. H. Holmes. Haunted Ozarks, from 2011, gathers ghost lore connected to the Ozarks region, drawing on the area's Civil War history and the Trail of Tears. Missouri's Haunted Route 66: Ghosts Along the Mother Road extends the Route 66 theme across roughly three hundred miles of Missouri highway. Tremeear's books follow the local-history-and-ghost-lore format common to History Press's regional titles, aimed at readers interested in the folklore attached to specific American roads and regions rather than at students of paranormal research.
