About the author

Joyce Markovics is a prolific writer of short nonfiction books for young readers, many published through Kodiak Books, covering ghost stories, hauntings, and eerie real-world locations. Titles collected here include Horror in Louisiana, Ghastly Gothic Mansions, Ghostly Towns, and Deadly Morgues (also issued in a Spanish-language edition as Morgues Mortíferas and, in a prisons-themed volume, as Prisiones Abandonadas), each built around four short, spine-tingling accounts tied to a particular kind of haunted setting. These slim, heavily illustrated volumes are designed for beginning and reluctant readers, using controlled, narrative nonfiction text to introduce ghost-story and horror conventions in an accessible format. Markovics has written dozens of similar titles across various series for the same age group, and her books function as an entry point into spooky nonfiction for children rather than as in-depth treatments of any single haunted location or legend.
