About the author
Mark Sarro is the author of two regional ghost-story collections from Schiffer Publishing, Ghosts of Delaware (2012) and Ghosts of West Chester, Pennsylvania (2008). Both books gather local hauntings tied to specific towns and landmarks: Ghosts of Delaware moves through sites such as Fort Delaware, mixing accounts that range from an unsettling encounter with a talking board to quieter, more sentimental stories, while Ghosts of West Chester, Pennsylvania covers reported encounters at named streets, parks, and alleys around that town, including stories connected to the Revolutionary War period. The books are written in a narrative, storytelling style rather than an investigative or analytical one, presenting local legend and reported encounters as entertainment and local color. They belong to the Schiffer catalogue of place-based ghost story collections and would suit readers who enjoy regional folklore organized by town, particularly those with a connection to Delaware or southeastern Pennsylvania.
