About the author
S.E. Schlosser is a folklorist and storyteller who has written more than a dozen regional ghost-story collections for Globe Pequot, working under the recurring "Spooky" series title. Volumes include Spooky Rocky Mountains, Spooky Maine, Spooky Pacific Northwest, Spooky Great Lakes, Spooky Virginia, and Spooky Michigan, each gathering campfire-style retellings of local hauntings, eerie happenings, and folklore tied to a specific U.S. region, illustrated in several editions by artist Paul G. Hoffman. Schlosser works in the American oral-storytelling tradition, adapting existing local legends into short, readable narratives rather than presenting original occult theory or firsthand investigation. The books suit readers who enjoy state- and region-specific ghost lore told in an accessible, narrative voice, and they form one of the more extensive regional folklore series in the catalogue.
