Reading this book transports you to a porch swing on a warm
summer evening while the June-bugs batter against the screen door and a much-loved aunt
spins out a leisurely ghost tale. A ghostly nurse confronts Death to fight for a woman's
life. The medical skeleton that literally scared a child to death. The rapping ghost of
"Irish" who spoiled the local poker game by revealing everyone's hands. A
mummified corpse in a crawl space that broke his faithless sweetheart's neck. A phantom
bellringer in his funeral suit. Trolls in Decorah. New tales and folklore, with some
stories taken from the now out-of-print Ghostly Tales of North-east Iowa (1988). |
