RECOMMENDATION: S. E. SCHLOSSER

Not a review, but a recommendation. If you're into ghost stories, supernatural stories and folklore, check out S. E. Schlosser's Spooky series. She has some that sound like tales and others are her own true encounters. (Sometimes it's a little hard to tell when it's one of those, as she frequently uses first person narration. Sometimes it's her, sometimes it's not. Most of the ones featuring her also involve her sister and nephew, so keep an eye out for that.) This is hands down my favorite spooky stories series. I love a lot of them from childhood, but this series is not written just for children and the illustrations are awesome, so it takes first place.

There are 26 books out right now. Nineteen of them are specific to states (Spooky Florida, Spooky Maryland, etc.), one covers all of Canada, two are collections of "campfire tales," and the others are regional (South, Southwest, Yellowstone, New England). Spooky New Orleans, pictured to the left, is the upcoming book, due out in July.
