Item #258

The Bookcase Ghost, A Storyteller's Collection of Wisconsin Ghost Stories, Elizabeth Matson and Stuart Stotts, 1996, notes on sources, 96 pp. $13.95

A book of considerable charm, these (mostly) kindly-spirited tales, both traditional and comtemporary, are intended by the storyteller-authors for reading and telling aloud. The bookcase ghost, who dissolved in a terrible way and marked a man for life with her bony thumbs.

A haunted double portrait in Pendarvis. The sad tale of the ghost who rocked his last child's cradle. A little girl ghost who tried to lure a living child into the wall with her. A bouncing ghost cat. Add an exceptionally helpful chapter on researching and telling ghostly tales and you've got a delightful addition to midwest ghostlore.

Item #257

Driftless Spirits: Ghosts of Southwest Wisconsin, Dennis Boyer, 1996, line art, 184 pp $14.95

I was enchanted by this book! Boyer has a magical gift for capturing the individual voice of each tale-teller. A fascinating collection of unusual stories with a strong local flavor. Four ghost wagons driven by four ghost-brothers. The Biker Ghost who rides a ’55 panhead. Annaton—a ghost-town that only exists intermittently and where you can cross to the Other Side. The Rockbridge Wraith—the ghost of an abused woman who takes a terrible revenge on the living. This is superb ghost-writing!

Item #259

Ghosts of Door County, Wisconsin, Geri Rider, 1992, line art, index, 175 pp. $9.95

Della, the ghost who was afraid of fire; a ghostly raccoon who stole peanut butter sandwiches, a ghostly mother who left the door open until her soldier boy came home.
