About the author
Marcus Librizzi is the author of Haunted Islands in the Gulf of Maine and Dark Woods, Chill Waters: Ghost Tales from Down East Maine, both published by Down East Books. The island book gathers ghost stories and supernatural lore tied to the more than three thousand coastal islands off Maine's shore, considering why islands in particular have become settings for hauntings and legend. The second collects ghost tales from the remote stretch of coast between Bar Harbor and the Canadian border, pairing the region's stark landscape with its supernatural folklore. Both books work in the regional ghost-story tradition, combining local history and legend rather than academic analysis, and are aimed at readers with an interest in New England folklore, coastal history, and ghost stories tied to a specific place rather than general treatments of the supernatural.
