About the author
Katie Boyd is the author of four titles published between 2008 and 2010, mostly through Schiffer Publishing and its Redfeather imprint, including Witches & Witchcraft in the 21st Century, Devils and Demonology: In the 21st Century, Rhode Island's Spooky Ghosts and Creepy Legends, and Haunted Closets: True Tales of the Boogeyman. The books cover a mix of subjects: a history of witchcraft and the modern Pagan rights movement, an overview of demonology and exorcism practice and belief, regional ghost lore tied to Rhode Island locations, and cross-cultural boogeyman folklore linked to sleep phenomena. Written for general readers interested in the occult and paranormal, the books combine historical background with contemporary case material and regional legend, reflecting Schiffer's line of accessible, illustrated titles on witchcraft, hauntings, and folklore aimed at curious rather than academic audiences.
