Haunts and ghosts

The incredible success of local author Kathleen McConnell with her book, Don't Call Them Ghosts: The Spirit Children of Fontaine Manse, has been in no small measure a reflection of the tastes of our patrons. Through in-store promotion and word-of-mouth, the winter book-signing she did here at the store remains one of our best-attended events. And, the book continues to sell wildly.

For such fans, we've brought in a special allotment of two key books at a bargain price. Michael Norman and Beth Scott have written guides to Haunted America and Historic Haunted America.

We have a limited supply of these right now, but I wanted to let the readers of this Web log know about it first. I'm trying to get Haunted Heritage and Haunted Heartland in as quickly as possible, too. These are all legendary and/or eyewitness accounts of haunted places in America, and I know many of you will want to add these to your collections.
