How many books are in the Spooky series?

The current collection includes four distinct regional volumes. We stock titles focusing on Appalachia, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington. Each book explores the unique supernatural folklore of its specific location independently.

Which book should I read first?

Order does not matter as these are independent anthologies. Start with the region you know best or wish to explore. If unsure, Spooky Appalachia is a popular entry point for classic American ghost lore.

Do the books need to be read together?

No, they stand alone perfectly. Each volume is a self-contained collection of local legends. Reading one provides a complete experience without needing context from the other regional guides or previous entries in the series.

Explore the shadowed corners of America with the Spooky series, published by Sterling Publishing. These volumes collect authentic local legends, ghost stories, and strange occurrences from specific regions, offering a grounded look at the supernatural in everyday places.

Each book serves as a curated anthology of folklore rather than a novel. They suit readers who appreciate regional history, cryptids, and verified hauntings. The consistent voice ties the disparate tales together into a cohesive collection of American eerie.

How to read the series

Since these are regional anthologies, there is no narrative sequence. You may begin with any volume that matches your geographical interest. There is no required progression between the titles.

Start with Spooky Appalachia if you prefer dense forest lore, or Spooky North Carolina for mountain tales. Oregon and Washington offer Pacific Northwest mysteries. Pick the region that calls to you.
