About the author

Jen Besel writes nonfiction for young readers on unexplained and paranormal topics. Haunted Places (Bolt Jr., 2020) introduces children to stories about reputedly haunted locations through short, direct text paired with photography and simple graphic elements, part of a series designed for reluctant or early readers investigating mysteries and legends. The book favors an investigative framing, presenting claims about a place's history alongside the reported haunting, over either debunking or endorsing the phenomena described. Besel's work sits within children's educational nonfiction on the supernatural, aimed at a school and library market rather than an adult audience interested in paranormal research or belief.
